On Friday, September 29, 2023, we will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the new look of the World's Largest Six-Pack -- with the original Old Style labels on them. We will be producing Old Style beer in La Crosse once again in 2024! This will be a much needed win for the brewery and the city.
[Joshua Aliesche, 06/10/2023]They tore off the facade August 7th. I don't know if this is permanent or if they are giving it a much needed face lift. As of currently, there are no beer can designs.
[Willow Phlox, 08/13/2022]According to the brewery, the six-pack will return some time in 2023.
The cans are a little washed out, but the six pack is still there. They're now a part of City Brewing, which is a packaging company.
[Krista, 09/01/2016]We've read reports that the statue of Gambrinus, King of Beer, will return to his spot across from the six pack in September 2016. He was damaged by drunk fans in 2015.
You can't keep a good roadside attraction down! The World's Largest Six-Pack has risen anew. Once painted in the colors of Heileman's "Old Style Lager" beer, the six aging tanks that make up the six pack were painted over following the closure of the brewery back in 2001.
Since then, the brewery was reopened by a group of investors/entrepreneurs and renamed the "City Brewing Company." Sleeves, painted to look like the label of City Brewing Company's "La Crosse Lager" beer, have been placed on four of the six aging tanks that make up the "six-pack". So now you have not only the World's Largest Six-pack, but also the World's Largest Koozies!
Oh, yeah. The statue of Gambrinus still stands at the brewery, across the street from the six-pack. And free tours of the brewery (including sampling of the finished product) leave from the hospitality center, 1/2 block south of the six-pack.
