Unfortuantely the beer couldn't be protected from the flavor of itself.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12669616484991718478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-41349978102685676712010-01-26T09:59:04.883-05:002010-01-26T09:59:04.883-05:00Three cheers for the can!!
I wish we had a cannin...Three cheers for the can!!<br /><br />I wish we had a canning line... but they are NOT cheap. Not only are cans a superior package for protecting the beer, but they can go SO many places bottles cannot. If we had cans, people could drink our beer tailgating at the CMU games, or we might even be able to get served in the stadium itself. Our beer would be safe to go to the beach, and in Mount Pleasant, on the river.Soporhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647578353963214035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-19962368122914456702010-01-26T08:26:41.966-05:002010-01-26T08:26:41.966-05:00Keeweenaw Brewing Company, up the UP, uses cans.Keeweenaw Brewing Company, up the UP, uses cans.steveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08862590608695420004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-3255541242253741732010-01-25T17:07:57.566-05:002010-01-25T17:07:57.566-05:00Strangely, I did too.

But with specialized linings to keep the "tin" (aluminum) off of it, it actually is better for keeping air and light away from it.<br /><br />That said, most micro-lovers will be hard pressed to get a can marketed to them. Too many years of cans being associated with swill. It will take more than just 1 or 2 breweries doing it for it to really take off.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345059376742159966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-13327124691280065952010-01-25T15:23:20.279-05:002010-01-25T15:23:20.279-05:00I would think that the microbrews would shun cans....I would think that the microbrews would shun cans.
