The OED appeals list wanted an antedating of 1957 for a Canadian 'alcoholic
beverage'

>From the Soda Springs (ID) Sun, May 29, 1941.  No page number, column 3:

<It was many a year since I'd seen an Alaska jamboree of that kind, and it

along with the dancing was much brawling and lovemaking and the imbibing of
a local brand of hooch known as moose-milk.>
