“Laker Ice is one of the most popular beer brands in Ontario,” said Jim Manz, Director, Commercial, Waterloo Brewing “and a free tall can of beer is a gesture from us to give the hardworking people of Ontario a break for all their hard work.”

“Laker was one of the brands that created the value segment,” continued Manz. “And we’re as committed to that position in the market as we’ve ever been. Ontario beer drinkers can count on Laker to be the best value: a high quality, award-winning, locally owned and brewed beer at a reasonable price. And that great value gets just a little better with a free tall can in 24-bottle packs of Laker Ice.”
