Why do we can our Fresh Local Beer?
Aluminum cans are the BEST vessel for our product because they keep beer fresher for a longer period of time than glass bottles. First, because light can't penetrate aluminum like it can any shade of glass. Also, an aluminum can has a better seal on it than any glass bottle cap; preventing oxygen from getting to the beer (which is REALLY good).
Cans are unbreakable and more easily transported by our customers; so they are easily taken to places where a glass bottle would not be: beaches, boats, campgrounds, golf courses, rivers, ski slopes, trails, etc.
Aluminum cans are also more environmentally friendly than glass bottles because they are the easiest and most commonly recycled beverage container in the world and require less packaging than glass bottles. Lightweight aluminum cans are also more easily shipped than glass bottles, where a significant percentage of the shipping weight is comprised of the glass bottles themselves and the necessary cardboard packaging.
Want more proof? Micro-breweries who have converted to canning have realized a reduction in their carbon footprints of over 35%!!!
Lastly, the plastic holder for our 4packs are made out of 96% recycled material, are #2 recyclable & protect the tops of the cans from any dirt or dust getting on the top!
