The campaign has set a target of $2.5 million, to be matched by the Brownlee Family Foundation, to refurbish Main Street and transform the CN grounds to a multi-purpose park with a market area, festival stage and historic garden. The beer can was designed by Megan Edwards, Great Western Brewing’s graphic designer. Packs of Biggar Beer will be available for purchase at Biggar retail outlets as well as at Saskatoon Co-op liquor stores. From every eight-pack purchased, $2.50 will go toward the revitalization campaign. GW’s beer is brewed with barley malted in Biggar, and GW Light is Biggar’s most popular Great Western beer.
