Join us for an all‑ages launch party celebrating three brand‑new Spring / Summer exhibitions—plus tastings, games, tours, and a patio BBQ!
A Smile in Every Bottle: Sicks’ Breweries Ltd celebrates the 100th anniversary of Old Style Pilsner (first brewed here in 1926) and shows how Lethbridge’s family-run brewery became a global leader in beer production and distribution.
Down in the Valley demonstrates how the Oldman River is vital for life on the prairies. How has the Oldman River landscape changed throughout human history?
Dried Out: Prohibition in Alberta examines how the moral and political crusade to ban alcohol had unintended consequences, both good and bad.
Launch Party Highlights: Beer tastings; board games & yard games (bean bag toss and more); patio party & BBQ; exhibit tours; Hwy 3 Ale Trail breweries featured as part of the exhibition.
As an added treat, The Hwy 3 Ale Trail is a featured part of the Smile in Every Bottle exhibition, and we’ve invited representatives from the beer trail to join us for the event!
