A Free Ram Truck for Corrie Dorscht

WATERLOO, ON, Dec. 12, 2011 /CNW/ - Brick Brewing Company (TSX: BRB) - Corrie Dorscht  from Kitchener, Ontario won herself a new 2011 RAM 1500 Quad Cab SXT 4x4 truck by simply entering a PIN at makeralaker.com as part of the Laker Beer Win a RAM Truck contest.

On Friday December 9, 2011, Corrie along with five other contenders who had also entered on-line, were invited to a Rangers game at the Kitchener Auditorium in their own private suite compliments of Brick Brewing Company. During the first intermission, the six contestants entered the arena as the truck took center ice.

Live, and in front of 6,300 Rangers fans, each contestant randomly picked a key from a bag and were given their opportunity to win a brand new 2011 RAM 1500 Quad Cab SXT 4x4 truck. "I remember saying to the official that the door had unlocked and as he doubled checked the key and the door opened, I just sort of blacked out from there" said Dorscht. "This is just a great thing to happen for me and I'm speechless that I won a new truck". Corrie's day was topped off with the arrival of a granddaughter in the same evening.

"Great contest giveaways and everyday great value are two of the ways we can thank the hardworking people of Ontario for their continued support of our beer" said Sean Dennis, Director Marketing of Brick Brewing Co Limited. "Another way Laker shows some appreciation and demonstrates a genuine respect for the people who keep this province running, is the free tall can of Laker beer inside specially marked Laker Lager and Laker Light 24 bottle packs" said Dennis. "The response on this promotion from Ontario and Laker beer drinkers alike, demonstrates that Ontarians are choosing to 'buy local', a philosophy we strongly believe in. As Laker beer continues to grow, it's becoming more and more apparent that Laker truly is Ontario's beer" added Dennis.
