[Dixielandjazz] BEER

[Steve Heist]

Hi all,

No, really, it's pronounced Keets!  This place (Kelly's, a VERY British style pub) is in a predominately English section of Montreal.  And almost ALL the people in the bar (and in the area) speak English!  Anyway, I was pounced upon and corrected immediately when I tried to call it "Keiths" (rhyming with teeths...)  It must be a Nova Scotian pronunciation...  (He was the mayor of Halifax, I looked it up on their website) - who knows (or, really, who cares)...  But it's REALLY good, bottom line...

And as we say here in Quebec (the French), Sante!

  Keets?  Seems very dubious. Presumably it's a French-Canadian pronunciation. 
  The Scottish name Keith rhymes with teeth. 
  You have to make up for this by drinking to the memory of a great Englishman called Keith Smith!   

  Slainte!

    Hi all...
    I stumbled across (pun intended) a great beer here in Quebec. I think it's 
    made in Nova Scotia and it's called Alexander Keiths (pronounced - Keets) 
    Jazz content - I drink it every Tues. listening to the Jazz Knights down at 
    Kelly's Pub in Pointe Claire :-) Oh my gosh, that's tonight - happy Fat 
    Tuesday everybody!!!
    All the Best,
    Steve "Stubby" Heist
