Molson unveils new lager with a different type of kick - caffeine

Sun Mar 13, 5:41 PM ET


TORONTO (CP) - Molson Canada announced Sunday that you'll soon be able to buy a beer with a different kind of kick - caffeine.

Molson Kick is a lager that will contain guarana, a South American plant that's a natural source of caffiene.


The beer will be available throughout Ontario, Quebec and Western Canada beginning March 21 and in the Atlantic provinces on April 1.


It will be marketed in what the brewer calls "a sleek, fast chilling aluminum bottle," as well as cans.


Molson says the 355 ml aluminum bottle chills faster and is lighter than a glass bottle.


"Molson Kick truly is an evolution in beer," Molson vice-president Gino Cantalini said in a news release. "Creating a smooth-tasting, premium lager with guarana is one more way for Molson to offer innovation and variety to Canadian beer drinkers.


"It's fitting that we would also make Canada's first lager with guarana available in Canada's first aluminum beer bottle."

Yeah, budweiser has done this too. I'm pretty sure they'll stop selling it once they figure out 5 or 6 causes heart failure.

No and no. Work? How would it work? Its caffiene. How does it taste? No.
