History

THE LETHBRIDGE BREWERY PRODUCED TEMPERANCE BEERS, WHICH WERE ALLOWED A MAXIMUM OF 1/2 OF 1% ALCOHOL BY WEIGHT, BETWEEN 1915 AND 1923 DURING THE ERA OF PROHIBITION. UP UNTIL 1918 BREWERIES IN ALBERTA WERE STILL ABLE TO PRODUCE ALCOHOL FOR EXPORT, AND PEOPLE LIVING IN ALBERTA COULD IMPORT A CONTROLLED AMOUNT OF LIQUOR FOR PERSONAL USE. HOWEVER, AFTER APRIL 1ST, 1918 THE BREWERY, AND ALBERTANS, HAD TO RELY UPON NON-INTOXICATING BEER AND ALE WITH LOW ALCOHOL CONTENT. SEE P19900020001-GA FOR LETHBRIDGE BREWERY HISTORY.
