Galt-Museum presents new exhibit on Lethbridge’s brewing history

A new temporary exhibit at the Galt Museum and Archives is a celebration of Lethbridge’s local brewing history. The exhibit, called “A Smile in Every Bottle”, focuses on the former Sick family brewery and how Fritz Sick built a brewing empire across Western Canada and into the United States. Starting today, museum-goers will travel back in time as they explore the display, bringing back memories of the brewery on the hill, the rise of the beer industry with its arrival in the city, and the distinct flavor of its brews. Tyler Stewart with the Galt Museum & Archives shares more details.

The exhibition is being display until September 6, 2026.
