He claims that there is a very stiff fine ($50,000.00 CDN) for anyone caught sending them across the border. Unfortunately, they can not be bought by mail order for anyone in the US. Sorry about that. I guess the next time you happen to be visiting Niagara Falls, cross over the border and pick up a few along with some really good beer.
