In the first half of the 1900’s, Fritz Sick went from small-town brewer to big-time businessman. Sick’s Breweries Ltd. grew from their headquarters in Lethbridge to dominate brewing in western Canada and the northwestern USA. Known across Canada, Sicks’ iconic Old Style Pilsner was first brewed here in 1926 and is still going strong today.
