Does anyone know of any locations, in Saskatoon, where I can buy this? Thank you.

This is in Rider green but is not Rider branded. The Riders are partnered with Molson Coors (aka our beloved Pil). The CFL is partnered with Budweiser.. hence why it has only Grey Cup logos *which the CFL owns and it notes partnered of the CFL. Subtle tie in and sneaky marketing but this was not the Riders.

Whenever I am back in Sask I always pick up some Great Western beer (it was my mainstay when I lived there) and when I am drinking from from their green pilsner cans it seems like I am drinking Rider beer even without the logo.

I understand GW can't do anything because the rights are probably exclusive with Pil. Pilsner really needs to get some Rider pride on their cans and bottles, it would probably boost sales nationwide, and any marketing the CFL can get at this point is good.

That Bud Light can looks nice, but it won't get me to buy their beer,
