Brick Brewing Co. Limited (TSX: BRB) announced today the launch of two new 473ml tall cans: Laker Extra Ice 7.5 and Laker Red 5.5.
"The single-serve, tall can segment within the Ontario beer category has been growing steadily for several years" said Nick Relph, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing Brick Brewing. "Ontario beer drinkers now have two new great tall cans to enjoy at the same great value as our Laker Lager and Laker Ice 473ml tall cans" added Relph.
"Adding Laker Extra Ice and Laker Red to our already successful collection of Laker 473ml tall cans will ensure we're providing the best style of beer for a great price to our Laker drinkers" said George Croft, President and CEO of Brick Brewing. "Laker is on the side of the workingman, so we put a free tall can of Laker Ice in our 24-bottle packs of award-winning Laker to give people a break. Laker is the best beer deal in Ontario; because our best is simply what people deserve" added Croft.
New Laker Extra Ice 7.5 and Laker Red 5.5 tall cans are available at select Beer Store locations and proudly brewed in Ontario.
