KITCHENER, ON, Feb. 16, 2023 /CNW/ -

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • LandShark Lager will now be offered in a single-serve 473ml can at The Beer Store, select grocery and the Waterloo Brewing Beer Store
  • By adding this new format, more Fin Fans will be able to enjoy the refreshing taste of LandShark Lager

Put on your shades – 2023 just got a whole lot sunnier. Starting mid-February, LandShark Lager will be offered in single-serve 473ml cans at The Beer Store, select grocery and the Waterloo Brewing Beer Store.

"LandShark has always been about good times, good friends and great beer," said Jim Manz, Vice President, Sales and Key Accounts at Waterloo Brewing. "We want to keep that going this year by expanding our Landshark lineup."

Landshark Lager is a refreshing, island-style lager that's golden in colour and brewed with subtle hop notes. Inspired by Jimmy Buffet, LandShark is the official beer of Margaritaville properties, a brand that hopes to achieve feelings of beachy getaways and island vibes, wherever you may be. LandShark Canada launched in the spring of 2016, and will be celebrating seven years in the Canadian market this year. What better way to commemorate than by offering a new option to enjoy Canada's favourite island-style lager!

"We know that Canadian Fin Fans will be excited to now be able to purchase LandShark Lager in single-serve tall cans at more retailers," said Kim Mannerow, Director of Marketing at Waterloo Brewing. "It's now easier than ever to grab a single can of LandShark Lager in Canada!"

So while Canadians won't be hitting the beach for another several months, they will be able to achieve that vacation state of mind this February with single-serve 473ml cans of LandShark Lager.
