http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkell,_Ontario

Arkell is a place in the district of Puslinch Ontario Canada.
Named after John Arkell the founder of the Swindon Brewers founded the town with a few friends....born in Kempsford nr Fairford he returned to make his fortune with the Kingsdown brewery

The Town in Canada named after him is now a thriving place and Brewers are still a tradition there.

I didn't know that :D

Does the Arkell's brewed in Canada taste any better than the crap they brew in Stratton?
