Awards

Molson Canadian has won several beer industry awards, including:
The "Molson Canadian Mega Keg" is the world's largest monument to a keg of Molson Canadian. The monument measures 11 metres by five metres, or roughly the height of a three-story building.
The monument was revealed to winners of a contest themed around the Mega Keg in September 2008. Were it a real keg, the Mega Keg monument would be large enough to hold the equivalent volume of over 500,000 cans of Molson Canadian.
Molson Canadian contracted Mississauga, Ontario-based Kubik to design and construct the massive monument.
