CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sugarbud Craft Growers Corp. (TSXV: SUGR, SUGR.DB, SUGR.WR, SUGR.WS, SUGR.WT,) (OTCQB: SBUDF) ("Sugarbud" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the further expansion of the Company's Craft Cannabis Collection in Alberta with the launch of two new Pre-Roll formats and another first to market Sugarbud exclusive strain – Bahama Blizzard #11.

Sugarbud Bahama Blizzard #11 is yet another delightfully complex and exclusive cultivar; phenotyped from the Sugarbud genetic library. Created through the cross of Caribbean Cooler x Jet Fuel Gelato, Bahama Blizzard #11 has triangle-shaped, olive green buds with purple undertones, dark amber airs and rich crystal-like trichomes. Consumers can expect well-defined aromas of sweet confectionary, pine, lemon citrus, floral and fuel. Total THC will range between 21-26% with a terpene profile of between 2-4%.

"Building on the momentum that the Company has established with its recently launched and fast selling Mule Fuel and Krypto Chronic #2 strains, Sugarbud is pleased to be rolling out a 3 x 0.5g Pre-Roll format of both of these exciting cultivars," stated Sugarbud President and CEO, John Kondrosky.

"The introduction of Bahama Blizzard #11 in Alberta marks the first market entry for this new strain. Sugarbud continues to develop new and exciting cultivars that deliver on potency, terpene and aroma. Bahama Blizzzard #11 is yet another fine example of our commitment to consumer satisfaction and the house-style and craftsmanship that has come to define Sugarbud Craft Cannabis – dense, sugary buds, exceptional terpene forward aromas and smooth flavors," concluded Mr. Kondrosky.

The Company expects both Bahama Blizzard #11 3.5g flower and 3 x 0.5g Mule Fuel and Krypto Chronic #2 Pre-Roll formats to be available for purchase from private cannabis retailers throughout Alberta and online at AlbertaCannabis.org in late November, 2021.
