WATERLOO, ON, April 13, 2012 /CNW/ - Brick Brewing Co. Limited (TSX: BRB) today proudly announced its sponsorship of what promises to be the biggest concert of the summer: The Boots and Hearts Music Festival. Laker Lager and Seagram Blends will be one of the main sponsors of this musical spectacle scheduled for August 10-12th, 2012. Some of the biggest names in country music will share the stage at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville including Tim McGraw, Kid Rock, Carrie Underwood, Alabama and many more.

Laker Lager will be giving away one hundred Boots and Hearts Music Festival weekend passes for two in specially marked 24-packs. Laker started the summer season early by offering a free tall can in every lowest legal priced 24-pack of Laker. It seems the best beer news in Ontario just keeps getter better.

"Boots and Hearts is going to be an incredible event this summer" said enthused George Croft, President and CEO, Brick Brewing. "This huge country music event complements Laker's participation as the Official Beer of the Ram Rodeo Tour and its RAM truck and Jeep Wrangler sweepstakes. We're looking forward to celebrating a great summer with the hardworking people of Ontario. It feels as though we've all earned a weekend of good music and some time to kick back."

"Republic Live is excited to team up with Brick Brewing Company to showcase both their Laker beer and Seagram Blend brands at a festival that offers Canadians the very best country music has to offer," said Shannon McNevan, partner and executive director, Republic Live, the promoter and producer of the festival.
