KITCHENER, ON--(Marketwired - August 18, 2016) - Brick Brewing Co. Limited ("Brick" or the "Company") (TSX: BRB), announced their latest fermentation from Seagram; New Farmhouse Cider, a premium cider that brings true artisanship and craft to the cider category.

"This is a cider of the rarest character," offers Sean Dennis, Director of Marketing for Brick. "Unlike most ciders, our 100% all-natural Farmhouse Cider is preservative-free and gluten-free and still delivers a full-flavoured, classic juicy apple taste."

"It's really a matter of simply caring more about the end product," adds Bill Henry, Director of Brewing, Quality and Logistics at Brick Brewing. "We've gone a bit old-school here and you can really taste the effort that's gone into it. Made with fresh juice crafted from a select blend of Ontario only hand pressed apples, and then, of course, a fermenting and aging process that's state-of-the-art, yet respects the true farmhouse tradition."

"Unlike most ciders, Seagram Farmhouse Cider is unfiltered and made without adding sugar, usually added to mask harshness and imperfections. Call me old fashioned, but it's crisp and classic, refreshing apple finish, is what a premium cider really ought to be," Mr. Dennis added, proudly.

As an Official Sponsor of the Hamilton Tiger Cats, new Seagram Premium Farmhouse Cider is available at Tim Horton's Field and will hit the shelves of select grocery stores in the coming weeks.
