Waterloo Brewing, the trade name of Brick Brewing Co. Limited (“Brick” or the “Company”) (TSX: BRB), today announced the return of free summer beach T-shirts in specially marked 24-bottle packs of LandShark Lager.

“LandShark is fast becoming Ontario’s favourite summer beach beer,” said Jim Manz, Director, Commercial. “People love that it’s a simple, refreshing lager and they love that it’s playful and fun, the way summer should be. That helps explain why our 24-bottle packs have grown by 52% while all other 24-bottles have declined by -1%.”

“The beach T-shirts we gave away in our 24-bottle packs last year were wildly popular,” continued Manz. “This summer we’ll have several new T-shirt designs for beer drinkers to add to their collection. So for the 6.5 million people who visit Ontario’s beautiful beaches each summer, this is the beer for you.”

LandShark Lager is available year round at The Beer Store, LCBO and select grocery stores across Ontario. This promotional pack will be in full distribution at The Beer Store starting April 1 st .
