Under Premier John Oliver's leadership, Prohibition in British Columbia was repealed in 1921. Celebrate his legacy with our commemorative lager. Toast to the end of Prohibition in BC as you enjoy the crisp, refreshing flavour of John Oliver Lager. Cheers to another century of exceptional beer!

Straight out of the can. Smooth, noticeable but slight bitterness from a more forward expression of hops than typically expected of a lager, but still retains a nice yeasty maltiness, albeit a bit on the light side and somewhat watery. Not too many other flavours going on here, not much subtlety to enjoy, pretty much as plain and straight as you can get, not that there's anything inherently wrong with that. Average effervescence, light golden straw colour, holds its carbonation well. Overall, better than others at its price, but only slightly above average, not too special but still unique enough to justify getting it over other domestic big packs, not that it's that big of a price difference.
