Folklorama beer is back. Touted as a unique beer for a unique festival, the special collector can is now available at Winnipeg liquor marts and will also be sold at the pavilions throughout the festival.

Last year Fort Garry Brewery introduced a new Folklorama brew for the festival and in its inaugural year sold out all 26,000 pints. The beer has amber tones and light flavour, say Folklarama officials — it sells for $2.60 at the Liquor Marts and for $5.25 at pavilions.

Buyers of Folklorama beer can "Peel to Win" their collector can for a chance to win a trip for two with WestJet. Additional prizes include 10 pairs of Folklorama Tour Visas (unlimited access) for the 2010 festival.
