Blaise Diesbourg was responsible for the majority of illegal whiskey crossing over to Detroit during the prohibition era in Windsor/Essex. The Belle River-born bootlegger had ties with both the Purple gang and renowned mafia boss Al Capone. He cultivated an empire by using old bomber planes that could hold twenty-five cases of whiskey each, routinely flying them to both Detroit and Chicago almost daily.

Pleasantly tart with a light smoky flavour and citrus aroma, this sour ale mocks the classic cocktail itself and is brewed to be notoriously delicious.
