The end of February found the first cans of Good People Brewing (Birmingham, AL) headed for shelves. Initial launch beers were brown ale, and IPA.

A big, joyous celebration of all things hoppy (5 different varities). Large flavors and aroma of pine, citrus, flowers, spice, pineapple, and grassiness complimented with a touch of biscuit and caramel backbone. Our most requested beer.

Furthermore, a lot of drinkers seem to want Bitter to be a year round beer. A beer is evolving in the U.S. the alcohol in beer seems to be getting higher and higher. Not complaining, but for some (me included) it’s great to find a beer with great flavor that is lower in alcohol. 21A all but admitted that they are making plans to make Bitter American year round – as evidenced by this tweet.

Midnight Sun Brewing (Anchorage, AK) is expanding to cans. 2011 seems to be the year of the can. A canning line is already in place at the brewery to start with Sockeye Red IPA. Additional tanks were also purchased to help with the canning capacity.
About Sockeye: Instinctively bold and determined, Sockeye Red IPA is a beautifully crafted Pacific Coast-style India Pale Ale with a real bite. Specialty malts impart a spawning red hue to its fresh, firm body but the predominant character of this incredible catch comes from outlandish hops. Cascade, Centennial and Simcoe hops join forces to infuse intense hop aroma and flavor, defining and proliferating Sockeye Red’s appeal. Snag some Sockeye Red IPA for your next gathering. Serve in pint glasses or goblets as an aperitif or to accompany fresh, flavorful cuisine that’s full of spice; full of life!

Furthermore, most markets will enjoy the opportunity to have the can vs. bottle choice. Sierra mentioned the full marketing strategy isn’t in place. Small beer (Micro beer, craft beer) is falling in love with cans, and it’s big with Sierra Nevada, Oskar Blues, Bell’s & 21st Amendment leading the charge. As mentioned in the post, cans can go where bottles can’t. First cans roll off the line late 2011. <CraftCans>
Mother Earth Brewing is a 40 barrel brewery in Kinston, North Carolina. The canning line is being added to the space in the brewery that is currently under renovation. Completion of the line installation should be completed this spring, cans by summer, 2011.
First beers to be canned are Second Wind Pale Ale, and Sunny Haze. The bottles will continue to be available, the cans in addition.
President Trent Mooring explains “cans are lighter to transport, and there’s no fear of breakage, but it really gets down to taste- some beer enthusiasts simply prefer the taste of canned beer, believing cans preserve flavor and carbonation better than bottles.”
