Ball Corporation, the largest maker of cans world, is also the first to make a 568mL can (19.2 oz.) It is being introduced to North America. This “imperial pint” can is popular in Europe.
The 568 is unique. It’s the height of a 24oz can, while being the diameter of a 16oz can. Good for distinguishing the product on the shelves. For earth minded folks, it has the highest amount of recycled content than any other cans in Ball’s lineup. It is also 100% recyclable.
With craft beer rapidly canning their beer more and more, you might see a brewery pick up this new can style soon.

Tallgrass Brewing just starting shipping Velvet Rooster, touted to be the first Belgian tripel in a can. It was only a matter of time. Beer is obviously exploding in the United States, giving way new styles seeing an aluminum home over it’s glass counterpart.
Andrew Hood, our head brewer, put together this amazing brew as his first test batch when he came to Tallgrass. I tasted it and wanted to can it that day,” said Tallgrass founder Jeff Gill. “Traditionally, Belgian-style Tripels take themselves very seriously, but we just couldn’t do that. We had to give it our Tallgrass-twist, and Velvet Rooster was born.
Style: Tripel
Flavor? Light fruits, sweet malts, floral flavors. Touch of booze, & very effervescent according to the brewery.
Availability: 16oz can 4pks. Tallgrass currently distributes to parts of CO, SD, KS, AK, OK, AR, AL, MI, KY, OH, VA, PA, D.C., IL, ND, MN
8.5% ABV
