beer - Lethbian Love

That time I brewed beer @ [Theoretically] Brewing Co.

March 11, 2019March 7, 2019 by Melissa Johnson

[Theoretically] Brewing Co. has been on the #YQL beer scene since 2015 and has participated for the past few years in the International Women’s Collaboration Brew Day. This day just so happens to coincide with International Women’s Day celebrated annually on March 8th.

I had the wonderful opportunity to help out with a crew of diverse women who were ready to get their hands dirty in the art form of micro-brewing.

How many rabbits on a Pilsner label?

January 21, 2014 by Jonathan Ruzek

For all Molson claims to have maintained the integrity of the Old Style Pilsner label, there's that one nagging question that comes to every drunkard's mind: how many rabbits on a Pilsner label? You see three at first, then have another beer and see four. Then they change the label, get hate, only to change it back …

Beer? One needn’t ask twice

October 10, 2013 by Jonathan Ruzek

It's known to most who read the newspaper (I mean, who doesn't) that the Galt Museum occasionally holds scotch or beer tasting events. However this time, it's the SAAG who's putting on a Craft Beer Festival on October 19th, the same day as the Japan Film Festival. Oh, the hard choices in life… Like fine …

McGuinty’s, the new pub in town

August 25, 2010 by Jonathan Ruzek

Last night, my friends and I decided to check out the new Irish pub in Lethbridge, McGuinty’s. It’s located in the old Roadhouse building, which it shares with Pulse nightclub. I question that a little. The pub is only about a month old, so it smells of fresh paint rather than booze or anything else. …

A fine beer may be judged with only one sip, but it’s better to be thoroughly sure

November 9, 2009November 9, 2009 by Jonathan Ruzek

My liver can attest, I’m a connoisseur of beers. Imagine my delight when I discovered that Lethbridge has its own beer festival with over 100 types of domestic and international brews, probably including Old Style Pilsner, one of my dear favourites (among MANY others). Tickets are only $10 in advance, available at The Wine …

Lethbridge Sausage Party!

October 25, 2009October 25, 2009 by Jonathan Ruzek

If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. That’s what I always say.

Last night, Scott (a.k.a. Heavy P) hosted an Oktoberfest party. We sat down to a feast of Oktoberfest sausage, sauerkraut, perogies and my special bacon+onion gnocchi dish, all accompanied by a wide assortment of fine European beers and great Bavarian music! The aroma in the household was very manly, to say the least.

How could I have missed this?

It seems I needed someone from Saskatchewan to point out that there is a GIANT bottle of Pilsner in The Galt Museum! Saskatchewan, you’re alright…but try and stay in your own province once in a while. I’m just kidding, just stay away from my beer! Discovery Hall (Thanks, Kim!)

Old Style Pilsner: The Pride of Lethbridge

December 7, 2018March 2, 2009 by Jonathan Ruzek

In Lethbridge, when we’re not mining for coal or wrestling bears, we’re usually drinking an ice-cold Pil. First brewed in Lethbridge in 1926, Old Style Pilsner is a beer that has remained strong in Western Canada since its inception. Being half Czech, beer has played an important part of my life. In fact, it’s the …
