Mega Keg
The "Molson Canadian Mega Keg" is the world’s largest monument to a keg of Molson Canadian. The monument measures 11 metres (36.5 feet) by five metres (16.5 feet), or roughly the height of a two storey 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 half a million cans of Molson Canadian.
Molson Canadian contracted Mississauga, Ontario-based Kubik to design and construct the massive monument.
