Tally's Take

Why this matters

Copper kettles and local spring water made Creemore an early argument that lager could be craft. Molson Coors bought it in 2005.

Creemore Springs Premium Lager

Year-Round

Vienna Lager

ABV5.0%

Brewed in copper kettles with local spring water and no preservatives, which in 1987 meant it had to be refrigerated the whole way to the customer. That constraint was the marketing.
