Waterloo Brewing, the trade name of Brick Brewing Co. Limited (“Brick” or the “Company”) (TSX: BRB), today announced some of the exciting plans they have for LandShark Lager this summer.
“LandShark has been a huge hit with Ontario beer drinkers since it launched in the summer of 2016,” said Jim Manz, Director, Commercial. “LandShark Lager was eagerly anticipated by people who had experienced the brand outside of Canada and now we’re ready to create more new fans of the brand!”
“In our 24-bottle packs beer drinkers will find a limited edition T-shirt – it’s perfect beachwear,” continued Manz. “Each case will contain one of five designs that people can collect over the summer. We’re also introducing the very popular 6-bottle pack at the LCBO this summer, which will greatly expand our awareness and availability for consumers. LandShark is also now available to bars and restaurants in draft (on tap), which will expand awareness and availability further still. With the success we’ve experienced on LandShark the time is right to invest in an expansion of the brand franchise. We’re looking forward to bringing good times and free T-shirts to beaches across Ontario.”
LandShark Lager is available at The Beer Store, LCBO and select grocery stores across Ontario.
