Toronto, CAN (June 15, 2021) – Puppers Golden Lager, inspired by the fictional beer in Crave’s award-winning original comedy series LETTERKENNY, will be available in Ontario by July 1st, announced today by Mark Montefiore, President, New Metric Media.
“Our new partnership with Labatt is a significant step in the evolution of the Puppers beer brand,” commented Montefiore. “Labatt’s expertise and strong distribution reach will help get Puppers to a wider marketplace for Letterkenny fans and beer drinkers alike to enjoy all summer long and through 2021.”
Made with pale and caramel malts and German Perle hops, Puppers is perfectly in balance between malt and hops and sweetness and bitterness. Slightly grainy and yeasty, this dark golden lager is perfectly balanced with a slightly drying, sulfur-toned finish
Available on streaming platforms Crave in Canada and Hulu in the U.S., LETTERKENNY revolves around the dustups “Wayne” (Jared Keeso) and his pals get into with their small-town rivals. For the hicks, skids and hockey players of Letterkenny, getting your ass kicked is a legitimate concern on a day-to-day basis.
Created by Keeso who is also executive producer, co-writer and star, LETTERKENNY is produced by New Metric Media, in partnership with WildBrain and Playfun Games in association with Bell Media, with the participation of Canadian Media Fund, OMDC Tax Credits and the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit and the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund.
