In a world that never seems to stop serving up surprises (and not always the good kind), its nice to know that some rituals stand the test of time — like the sound of a beer cracking open at the end of a long day or the refreshing first sip of an ice cold lager on the first warm weekend of the year.
Sleeman Breweries has been immersed in beer tradition for five generations, with a long line of brewing heritage that dates back to 1834. With more than a century of brewing know-how, Sleeman has evolved, but never lost sight of its original vision: making truly great beer.
In true Sleeman style, Sleeman Clear 2.0 launched in 2003 — a refreshing and flavourful light beer with only 4 per cent alcohol. Ahead of its time by decades, Sleeman recognized the need for a beer with less carbs and cals to support beer drinkers with more active lifestyles. The softly sweet and crisp beer has 80 calories and 2 grams of carbs per 355 ml serving.
Since that time, the low-cal beer category has exploded as more and more beer drinkers look for lighter alternatives with lower alcohol and less carbs. With Sleeman Clear 2.0, you can enjoy endless summer days at the park (and still catch a frisbee) without compromising on the sweet, sweet taste of quality beer. With spring and summer comes new drinking habits — and while we may want to continue sipping lighter beer, it's nice to have some fresh options as we bid adieu to the winter months.
Sleeman Clear 2.0 launch new fruit flavours
Just in time for park hangs and cottage season, Sleeman has launched two new flavours with a hint of fruit — Sleeman Clear 2.0 Lime and Raspberry.
Sleeman Clear 2.0 is one of the fastest growing domestic beer brands in Canada. So it stands to reason that in addition to the wildly popular Sleeman Clear 2.0 Peach, the innovative brewer is introducing two new fruity options. Sleeman Clear 2.0 Lime and Raspberry just joined the roster, adding a hint of fruit flavour to the same great thirst-quenching beer.
The soft, citrusy aromas in this crushable beer makes Sleeman Clear 2.0 and its fruity counterparts the perfect partner to a variety of food, tag teaming with everything from fish tacos to buffalo wings and grilled salmon. Sleeman Clear 2.0 is great all year round — either solo or mixed in a cocktail — but our personal preference? Sipping straight from the can at a sunshine soaked cottage, legs dangling over the edge of the dock.
Sleeman Clear 2.0 food pairings
The entire line of Sleeman Clear 2.0 pairs like a dream with food. Here's what to buddy up with every flavour.
Adding a little zing to the classic, Sleeman Clear 2.0 Lime is an exceptionally crisp and light beer, infused with a hint of lime flavour. This beer pours pale gold in appearance and has only 90 calories and 2 grams of carbs per 355ml serving. Pair with beer battered fish tacos with cilantro lime dressing.
Kissed with a hint of raspberry, this lager screams summertime. With just 90 calories and 2 grams of carbs per 355ml serving, you can keep sipping until sundown. Pair with goats cheese, figs and almonds. Those with a sweet tooth can try it in tandem with dark chocolate desserts.
Sleeman's first foray into fruit-infused flavours started with Sleeman Clear 2.0 Peach, and for good reason. Infused with a hint of the stone fruit, this beer is great straight from the can — or, try it in a peach beer margarita. Pair with grilled halibut or salmon with sweet pepper and peach salsa on quinoa; or arugula with grilled peaches, sliced cucumbers, pecans and peach vinaigrette.
If you like your beer sans fruit, why not crack open a can of the O.G. Sleeman Clear 2.0? Enjoy the soft citrus aromas wafting out of this refreshing, straw coloured beer. Pair with cauliflower buffalo wings with fresh vegetables, candied jalapeños, Thai chilis and crumbled blue cheese.
