Contest: Win tickets to Alexander Keith's birthday bash

Ah, Alexander Keith--freemason, Scotsman, and Grand Master of Nova Scotia. But arguably his greatest achievement is his eponymous brewery, founded in 1820. One of the oldest breweries in North America, it churns out pale ales, light ales, amber ales, and its crown jewel, the India Pale ale.

This Friday, October 5, Alexander Keith Brewery invites you to join them in celebrating a very impressive birthday at the Evergreen Brickworks. There'll be shuttle service, food samples from Rock Lobster Co. and Stuft designed to pair perfectly with your brew, musical guests Matt Mays and Dwayne Gretzky, and of course, beer.

THE PRIZE

Two lucky readers will receive two VIP tickets each to Alexander Keith's birthday party on October 5 at the Evergreen BrickWorks (550 Bayview Avenue) at 8pm.

To win, just answer the following question: How many years ago was Alexander Keith (the man, not the brewery) born?
