Lonerider Brewing (Raleigh, NC) has ditched their bottling line completely in lieu of cans. It’s a bold, and not to common move for a brewery to go all cans after bottling for years.

Cans will ship to North Carolina first. The brewery hops to have cans in the rest of their distribution markets by late July.
