KITCHENER, Ontario, March 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Highlights:
- Seagram, the original ready to drink cooler, adds new Island Time Anytime vodka cooler to its product line up.
- Seagram Island Time Anytime taps into our Canadian fascination with the tastes and culture of the Islands.
- Seagram Island Time Anytime furthers Waterloo Brewing’s reputation for product innovation and development - both owned and co-packed brands.
Waterloo Brewing, the trade name of Brick Brewing Co. Limited (“Brick” or the “Company”) (TSX: BRB), today announced the launch of Seagram Island Time Anytime, a new vodka cooler inspired by the fabulously refreshing fruit punches made famous by Jamaica and the Caribbean.
“We purchased the Seagram trademark with a plan to expand its value and equity to new cooler products and new beverage alcohol segments,” said Jim Manz, Director, Commercial, Waterloo Brewing. “A few years ago, we launched Seagram Cider, made from real apples and no preservatives – unlike ‘synthetic’ ciders. Our cider is priced right and continues to be a great success. Today’s launch of Seagram Island Time Anytime represents a further extension of the Seagram trademark into new product territory.”
“In Canada we have a strong affection for the Islands of the Caribbean – the people, the lifestyle the food and drink,” continued Manz. “Whether it’s a mid-winter escape or a refreshing break from the summer heat, this 5% alcohol, refreshing blend of lemon, sweet strawberries, mouth-watering melon and tropical guava will transport people to the magic of the islands. To make it even more perfect, it’s available in a 6 x 355ml ‘slim’ can pack.”
Seagram Island Time Anytime is available at LCBO stores across Ontario in a 6-pack of slim 355ml cans for $11.95.
