I'm pretty sure this 1987 ad for O'Keefe's Extra Old Stock is the best beer commercial ever filmed in Vancouver. "Premium quality, fully matured" might be a claim contested by some local craft breweries but this commercial is awesome nonetheless.

This clip is one of many gems that V.I.A. reader Rob Richardson has dug up from his collection. The source is a vast collection of VHS tapes that he recorded himself or has managed to collect from thrift stores, flea markets, storage lockers, yard sales, contacts with people in other parts of Canada and the U.S., and anywhere he can manage. He's driven over to 麻豆传媒映画Island and as far down as Olympia, Washington to rescue analogue goodness before they've wound up in the scrapper and we're happy to bring you a Vancouver-centric clip each week.
