Jackie O’s Starts Canning

 

Jackie O’s is now the second Ohio brewery to start canning their beers. Firefly Amber Ale and Chomo-lung-ma are now available in cans and Mystic Mama IPA and Hop Ryot are in the future. The new canning line began operation a few weeks ago and distribution of the two beers started in the local community. 700 cases have already been sold in just three weeks. There’s no word yet if the cans will be distributed outside of Athens, OH yet.

Heavy Seas Davy Jones’ Lager Cans Come in June

Another beer to add to your cans of summer lineup. Heavy Seas Davy Jones’ Lager cans should be hitting shelves in June 2013. This beer was once categorized as marooned and no longer going to be made by Heavy Seas. Its revival is a ‘steam’ beer that uses lager yeast fermented at ale temperatures creating a creamy smoothness with a malt body. This time around, the recipe was tweaked a little bit. Davy Jones is down to 6% instead of 7%. That might make a little difference in the sun. Go ahead a grab for that 4th can. Or 5th.

Style: Lager/California Common
Availability: 12oz Cans. 12 packs only.
Arrival: June 2013

6% ABV

Sly Fox 360 Can Illegal in New Jersey. Snookie Is Still Legal

Back in March at the Craft Brewers Conference,  Sly Fox Brewing introduced their latest innovation – the 360 lid can. These cans feature a pull top lid that comes completely off similarly to a cat food or fruit cup container allowing for easier drinking and better hop aroma. In New Jersey however, these types of cans are illegal due to a litter law from the 1970’s banning any detachable metal on a can.

Sly Fox is quite disappointed as all parts of the lid are recyclable, the lid passes all safety tests, and it actually takes less metal to make those lids than it does to make a bottle cap (which by the way are a detachable metal piece). Regardless don’t expect to see these new cans in New Jersey anytime soon.
