MA Brewery Offers Special Prize For Unique White Shark Can: Cheap Eats
New England locals who find a white can amongst a sea of blue cans will be rewarded with cash to put toward nautical activities this summer.
MASSACHUSETTS — Purchasing a 12-pack of local beer this summer could net you a nice chunk of change you can put toward getting out on the water.
Cisco Brewers announced this week that they'll be hiding special white Shark Tracker 12 ounce cans in the brewery's Shark Tracker Light Lager 12-packs across New England this summer.
One winner will receive $500 worth of OCEARCH merch and $1,500 to put towards their favorite activity on the water. Think a boat cruise, jet ski rental or whale watching. The hidden cans will be in 12-packs through Aug. 31.
