Hi there,

I grew up thinking that my grandfather designed (perhaps with Louise) and then drew the label for this beer (he did lithograph work). The “rabbits” were part of a game with the grandchildren.

Cheers!

I grew up in Lethbridge and my dad was an engineer at the old Pilsner plant until it shut down. He moved to Edmonton and worked at Molson's for another 20 years. To say I spent my childhood growing up in beer houses is an understatement. Spending hours upon hours in the hot rooms where the kettles brewed our golden nectar... well, that is a memory I hold dear. Great post!
