The P.E.I. Brewing Company is rebranding its Gahan Sir John A's Honey Wheat Ale in response to the ongoing issue of Canada's first prime minister and his legacy's effect on P.E.I.'s Indigenous community.
Kevin Murphy, CEO of the brewing company, said the decision came after a series of meetings with L'nuey, an initiative focused on protecting, preserving and implementing the constitutionally entrenched rights of the Mi'kmaq of Prince Edward Island.
