Thomas Uphill Amber Ale
A Tribute to BC’s Longest Serving MLA in political history
Thomas Uphill represented Fernie from 1920-1960. His political career began during British Columbia’s Prohibition, which he opposed on the grounds it restricted the average worker’s right to enjoy a well-deserved beer at the end of his working day. Uphill famously stood up in Legislature and brandished a bottle of beer, declaring, “Beer is as necessary to the worker as milk to the baby… Hands off the workers’ beer!”
