One Long Beer Run: Convoy Won’t Reach Destination Until Weekend

This is one long beer run: a convoy of 40 vehicles transporting six giant vats won’t reach their destination until the weekend, five days behind schedule.

The trucks are travelling from Hamilton to the Molson Coors brewery by Pearson International Airport and were supposed to arrive on Tuesday.

Instead, in a night where they were meant to cover a lot of missed ground, the convoy only made it 12 kilometres.

Now, the vehicles are parked on Trafalgar Road just north of Derry Road, where they will remain until 9pm on Tuesday.

But once the clock strikes nine, they’ll travel to Steels Avenue and then to Mississauga Road just north of Highway 407. That journey is expected to end around 6am on Wednesday and the convoy will once again park until nightfall.

Molson has set up both a Twitter feed and a website so you can follow the route.
