KFC to offer beer at two Toronto locations

Beer may go splendidly with KFC’s popcorn chicken, but don’t be expecting to super-size it when the fast food chain adds international and domestic brews to the menu at two locations in Toronto this fall.

Patrons can wash down the Colonel’s “finger-licking good” recipes with a bottle of Molson Canadian, Coors or Heinken, at the company’s new KFC Fresh locations – which will play up the less fast food more casual dining vibe (think Swiss Chalet with more grease).

But the brand is just one of several chains that have started looking into adding wine and beer to their menu to bolster sales.

Tim Hortons may have pulled a fast one on imbibers last week when a concept drawing of a future store showed taps and wine carafes, the Toronto Star newspaper reported. The company maintains it has no plans to obtain liquor licenses for franchises.
