Labatt Blue Lager
The blue label gave the nickname. Fans of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers stuck.
This case is 24 cans of 355 ml. The LCBO lists 5 percent alcohol and says the beer uses Canadian barley malt and selected hops. The flavour line runs light fruit, sweet malt, toasted grain, citrus and grassy hops.
The listing says made in Ontario, Canada. Labatt owns the Canadian brand and has brewed in Canada for the life of the beer. Interbrew bought Labatt in 1995, and AB InBev has owned it since 2008. US cans are a separate FIFCO licence, not this case.
The case was $47.25 on 27 September 2026.
