Old Style Pilsner

Old Style Pilsner

Old Style Pilsner is brewed by Molson Inc. at its Vancouver and Edmonton breweries. Created in the pilsner style, it has been brewed in western Canada since 1926. The beer appeared in the movie Fubar and also sponsors the Saskatchewan Roughriders football team, who play in the Canadian Football League (CFL).

Old Style Pilsner was first brewed in 1926 by Fritz Sick at the Sick's Lethbridge, Alberta brewery. The beer was and still is brewed after the famous formula of the House of Lethbridge, which can be seen in the top left hand side of the label. The Sick's Breweries Ltd. grew in the early half of the century to include breweries located throughout western Canada and the United States. In 1958 Sick's Breweries Ltd. along with the Old Style Pilsner Brand was bought by Molson Inc.

The first beer consumed by many young western Canadian males, "Pil" has become famous for crossing lines of age, wealth and taste.

This beer is referred to as "Saskatchewan Champagne" by its devotees and has also appeared on CTV's Corner Gas as the brew of choice at the local bar.

To some it is known affectionately as a "Sner", "Pill","Green diesel" "Vitamin P" or "Pilly Pop".
