Yet another addition to the list of breweries canning their beer! Ballast Point announced that they will be canning Sculpin, Big Eye, Longfin, and Pale Ale. The first of these cans are set to launch first in SanDiego this week then throughout California shortly after. No word yet on when full distribution will begin.
After debuting Dale’s Pale Ale in 19.2 oz cans at GABF it only makes sense for Mama’s Little Yella Pils 19.2 oz cans to debut at CBC this year. From there Oskar Blues will launch these bad boys to their entire distributing area in April 2013. Oskar Blues is the only brewery in North America using these special cans with the height of a 24oz can and the diameter of a 16oz can.
Ok, let’s review. You’ve seen wide mouth cans, punch top cans and more. Sly Fox (Phoenixville, PA) will debut the full lid pop top next week. As you can see above, you literally pull the top off the can and drink it like it’s a glass. According to the brewery, the lids are 30% lighter than a beer cap, meaning less waste/less to have to recycle. What about the lip of the can? Is it sharp? Why does this beer taste like blood?
The lip of the can is safe, and will not cut your lip upon drinking. It passes various sharp tests used in testing children’s toys. Look for the debut locally in early April.
Yes that’s exactly what it looks like – more canned Uinta beers. The latest addition to their growing canned lineup will be their Summer Ale Sum’r. Sum’r is part of their organic line of beers brewed with organic barley and hops. This beer is described as thirst-quenching with Sorachi hops balanced with lighter malts for a citrusy fresh taste that “pairs well with summer”.

Deschutes Brewery is planning a release of Mirror Pond cans in the Summer of 2013. This is the first can release by the Oregon based brewery.
Update 4pm: Jason Randles of Deschutes confirmed with Beer Street Journal the brewery is indeed working on cans. There is no set date yet for Mirror Pond’s release. Right now, they are working on mimicking the flavor of the pale ale in cans. As soon as the cans pass the sensory panels, it will be ready to rock.
Other interesting things to note – this is the only offering planned for cans in 2013. The cans are contracted, as the current faciility has no room for a canning line. If the cans are successful, Deschutes could put in its own canning line when they expand the production facility.
Official release date will be announced by Deschutes closer to launch.
