From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mike's Hard Lemonade Co. is a Canadian-based manufacturer of alcopop beverages, also known as "malternative" or flavored malt beverages. It is named after its flagship and original
The company was founded in 1999 by Anthony von Mandl. The company's U.S. headquarters moved from Lakewood, Colorado (Denver) to Seattle in 2005.

Mark Anthony Group distributes Corona Beer in Canada.
