KITCHENER, ON--(Marketwired - December 15, 2015) - Brick Brewing Co. Limited ("Brick" or the "Company") (
George Croft, Brick Brewing President and Chief Executive Officer noted, "The addition of LandShark Lager and Margaritaville coolers to our stable of brands is exciting news, both for our company and for consumers. LandShark Lager, created in collaboration with Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, is a gold medal winner at this year's North American Beer Awards in the tropical style lager category. The strength of these brands, both in the US and internationally, gives us a wonderful opportunity to expand their reach into Canada. This agreement fits perfectly with our strategic direction, allowing us to further utilize our leading edge manufacturing capability and available capacity, while building our branded volume business."
Douglas McCreadie, President, Global Beverage Alcohol of Margaritaville Enterprises added, "We couldn't be more pleased with our new partnership with Brick Brewing. As we look to extend the reach of LandShark and Margaritaville around the world, we look for companies who mirror our approach -- passionate about building brands, consumer focused, and outstanding operators. We feel we've found all of these in Brick Brewing."
Brick anticipates Canadian product launches under both the Landshark and Margaritaville brands in spring of 2016.
