New Brew’s Moniker A Nod To Canadian Veterans

A local craft brewery is using a new beer to pay tribute to veterans of the armed forces.

Forked River Brewing Company has a new limited batch of porter named in honour of the oldest Highland regiment in Canada and the UK. The Black Watch was formed in Montreal in January of 1862 with a website dedicated to the regiment saying it was originally called the 5th Battalion, Volunteer Militia Rifles of Canada.

One of Forked River’s three founders, Andrew Peters, says when they consider names for their brews, they look for monikers that are meaningful or have some sort of personal connection.

By choosing the Black Watch, they satisfied both criteria.

“Their tartan was the same tartan my grandfather wore in World War II in the Lorne Scots Regiment,” Peters tells AM980. “So I had this photo of my grandfather which had just been given to me and this idea of this Black Watch tartan…and it just jumped out at us.”

The choice is a tribute and aims to raise awareness of veterans and the debt owed them, says Peters.

This batch of the Black Watch is small with 600 growlers available for purchase at their retail store on Pacific Court, but it’s also available on tap at the Poacher’s Arms on Richmond St.

If all goes to plan, the brew could be available more widely in the fall. Peters says they’ve submitted an application to the LCBO to have the brew stocked on store shelves as a seasonal release.

“When it comes to the LCBO, we don’t really have a lot of say in what gets released,” he says. “We submit it and if they like it, it proceeds through their chains.”

“It’s sort of a six-month process to actually get a beer in the LCBO.”

If the LCBO denies their application, Peters says they’ll likely still put out another batch in the future.

Forked River is also starting to plan for another brew to honour and support Canadian veterans. It’s still in the very early stages, but Peters says they hope to have another beer ready for release around Remembrance Day in November and would like to donate a portion of the sales to former members of the Canadian Armed Forces.

"surveillance" What do you mean

Insurance companies will often hire private investigators to watch, follow, photograph, and film a claimant; and to interview the claimant's neighbors, former co-workers, and others. This is done to verify the level of activity being reported by the claimant and to weed out potentially fraudulent claims. If you are honest and forthright with the insurance company, doctors (both yours and the insurance company's), and others you have nothing to fear from surveillance. It will, in fact, help you, because it will corroborate the other evidence provided by you and your physicians in support of your claim. If you are dishonest, however; or if you fail to disclose relevant information, surveillance can hurt you.

Is my insurance company allowed to videotape me?

Surveillance (including taking videos and photographs) is generally permitted. Nothing, however, gives the investigator or anyone acting on behalf of the insurance company the right to violate the law (including the law pertaining to trespassing). If you are ever afraid for your safety because you think you are being followed, you should contact the police.

Sorry, I am back now, just had the iPad in shop, checking for bugs!

Dam straight Refleman, eating through a straw, or they just might need to be fed intravenously, don't mean to be harsh, but I will not stand for anyone invading my privacy.

Rex, don't know about ELB, one thing I do know, is that CPPD has, or at least had investigators in the pass, as I watched a program on W5, awhile back on that very subject.

Can't say for sure about sisip, but it is my understanding that these investigators investigating medical conditions, are looking for individuals who have false claims.

Sparrow...you always seem to get the true candid shots. lol

This is what I saw on my pond today.
