Summer Gets Refreshingly Different with Moosehead Radler - A citrus inspired beer for a new season from Canada's Oldest Independent Brewery

TORONTO, May 4, 2015 /CNW/ - Balcony barbecue gatherings and patio parties call for a cold one, like a Moosehead Radler. Just in time for summer, Moosehead Breweries launches Moosehead Radler, a refreshing mix of our premium lager, juice, and natural flavours.

"We are proud to add Moosehead Radler to our roster of premium quality beers," said Trevor Grant, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Moosehead Breweries. "As summer approaches, we want to offer Ontarians a refreshing choice that represents our classic Moosehead brew, with a citrus, fruity twist."

Radlers have traditionally been powering cyclists in Europe for almost a century. The term Radler translates in German to cyclist and was most popular in Bavaria. As Radlers gain popularity in Canada, Moosehead Breweries debuts one of the only Radlers with a higher alcohol by volume content, at four per cent.

Moosehead Radler is a lager blended with notes of grapefruit, lemon, and grape juice. This refreshingly different beverage is an uplifting choice for any occasion this summer such as picnics, backyard parties, city gatherings, and summer festivals. It's shareable, refreshing and not too sweet.

Moosehead Radler is available exclusively at The Beer Store for $26.95 and sold in 12 packs of 355 mL cans. Moosehead Radler will be available just in time for Victoria Day long weekend.
