Craft beer in a can?? Why you may ask? The simple answer is because we want to. However, it goes much deeper. Check out the following compelling arguments:
Cans Are Better For The Environment
- Cans are the #1 recycled beverage container of any kind in the United States
- Cans contain an average of 68% recycled aluminum
- Recycled aluminum cans saves 95% of the energy used to make aluminum cans from virgin materials
- Lightweight cans provide savings in shipping and handling costs through the entire supply chain
- Used aluminum cans can be recycled and returned to a store shelf as a new can in as few as 60 days
Cans Are The Perfect Package For Beer
- Light does not penetrate the aluminum can
- Cans chill faster than any other beverage container resulting in fresher, better tasting beer
- Cans are airtight and oxygen-free. Oxygen can leach into a bottled beer under the bottle cap and affect the taste
- Spraying the insides of the can and lid with a water-based polymer ensures no contact between the beer and the aluminum can
- Cans go where bottles do not. Cans go everywhere
- Cans don't shatter
- Cans are much lighter than glass
So there you have it. And yes I did use the words virgin and penetrate in my little dissertation. Mark my words....The future of craft beer will be packaged in cans....VIVA BEER....
