My great grandfather spent two years in the BC Penitentiary for brewing the stuff. Gee, maybe the family would have ended up with the money empire of the Bronfmans and the Seagrams, if he hadn't been caught. Rumor had it that there was almost a general strike in Nanaimo BC, when the tap ran dry. Interesting the parellel in people's behavior in the coal mining areas of the Appalacians and Vancouver Island on the other side of the continent. Knew there must have been a reason that I was so enamoured of Steve Earle's Copperhead Road, its in the blood.
