Kelowna, B.C.—On February 22, 2010 everyman Ben Wylie stumbles upon the world’s greatest beer can while on a ski vacation at Big White Resort. Yes, it is old timey and yes, it makes the world’s best beer box hats. Meet Molson Old Style Pilsner, the flashiest beer I have ever seen. We bought the beer purely because of the box’s hilarity.
Behold!!!Although the beer is unmistakably Molson in flavour and colour it was a pleasure to drink because the label made me so joyful. It was a can which meant I could sip it in the hot tub unlike the bottles of Hop Head I also had in the fridge. It is the kind of beer that lads not much younger than myself “crush” at university parties, not unlike a Bishop’s Briefcase (12 pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon). But I wouldn’t know anything about that.
Someone has a keen sense of styleSadly these beers do not appear to be available in Toronto. Just one more reason for British Columbians to feel sorry for us—as though being from Toronto wasn’t enough. I know it would be a conversation topic at parties and it would surely wow the hipsters on Queen Street. On second thought, perhaps it’s a good thing we don’t have it here. I already take issue to the price of Pabst Blue Ribbon in Toronto which sells $11 for a 12 pack in Quebec.
In conclusion, more breweries should take a hint from this beer when creating their cans. Perhaps they should omit the potentially offensive image of natives around a tepee though.
I can't be the only one who bought this beer for its label, can I?
Wylie out...
