Whither Jolly?

The question on everybody's unusually sober lips this season is "Where's the Jolly Roger?" The Maritime website gives a date of December 2nd but a Maritime human says the 9th. We can expect most, if not all, of the first few batches to go directly into bottles so expect draft supplies to be very limited.

Rumors were flying that the reason for the delay was because some stoner at head office had forgotten to file paperwork with the liquor board. These rumors were so spurious that even I wouldn't print them. The dull truth involves only construction and permitting delays during the brewery move.
