From the record
Summary
1300 Dewdney Avenue, operating from approximately 1907. Fritz Sick acquired Regina Brewing Company in 1924 and it entered the 1928 Associated Breweries amalgamation. Molson acquired the brewery in 1958 and later expanded the site. Closed 2002. A Galt-held label reads 'Old Style Pilsner Beer - brewed and bottled by Sick's Regina Brewery Limited', which makes Old Style Pilsner a multi-site beer rather than a Lethbridge-only one. [Sicks Pass 01] RELATED: regina-brewing-company-limited (1907-1944) and molson-saskatchewan-brewery-ltd-regina (1984-2002) are name-era records of this same Dewdney Avenue brewery; a merge decision is for a person with all three open.

Timeline
- 19071300 Dewdney Avenue
"This brewery was opened in 1907" at 1300 Dewdney Avenue as the Regina Brewing Company and "operated until prohibition in 1915" (a dealer's note on a 1915 share certificate — secondary, to be checked).
- 1925Fritz Sick reopens it
Sick "reopened it in 1925" — against the 1923 the archive had assumed for the Sicks' Regina purchase; both kept until a primary settles it.
- 1959Molson
"purchased by Molson's in 1959" (the dealer's note) — a year later than the 1958 of the other Sicks' plants; both kept. Later Molson Regina Brewery and Molson Saskatchewan Brewery (Encyclopedia of Saskatchewan).
- 2002Closed
"The plant was closed in 2002"; the Encyclopedia of Saskatchewan gives the span 1907-2002. What stands at 1300 Dewdney now: UNKNOWN.
