Muskoka Cottage Brewery to Release "The Docker"

Ok, so Muskoka Cottage Brewery has been getting a bunch of mention here on the blog lately as they've been busy rolling out new packaging options and introducing Ontario beer drinkers to their new Pilsner Light, and today they're back with another new member of the canned family - The Docker.

The new 5L mini-keg containing their Cream Ale will start rolling out across the province soon (within the next two weeks) and will retail for $24.95. 

As the name implies, this would be great at the cottage on the dock, or by the campfire, at family bbq's, and so many other functions.  This summer the Cream Ale will be the only Muskoka product featured in the 5L can and depending on sales others could follow next summer.

Someone came into our retail store after reading this and bought a cart load.

Thanks for helping to get the word out Troy.

Outstanding! I've been waiting for someone to do this since I saw the Heineken mini-keg. I realize it's not the exact same thing but this is a great idea. Perfect size for a small group. I'm hoping this does really well and they package other brands and other breweries follow suit soon. Well done Muskoka. This brewery seems to be really on the rise.
