A mainstream article on craft breweries canning.
Same article in our local paper today.
Thanks for the article. I’m sure this has been said, but I need to say it myself. Homebrewers, you can’t re-can a can. So thank you craft brewers for all those bottles! I put the money I would have spent buying new bottles into ingredients for more lovely beer.
Yeah, I know that cans are lighter and light-proof. Glass weights more, transmits some light and sure can crack. But as one who regularly mountain-bikes heavy homebrew in my backpack to the top of the trail, I say it’s worth every ounce (and I mean by weight and volume!).
Keystone Homebrew’s booth at NHC had some wines that were canned by one of the mobile bottling lines. You though craft beer in cans was a tough sell…
Hoo boy. There is still quite the stigma against screw tops. I can’t wait to hear the gnashing of teeth with cans! 
Cans provide some advantages over bottles, but I’m uncertain of how the consumer really feels about this evolution that is slowly occurring. I really don’t have a preference, as long as the beer is fresh, it really doesn’t matter to me as the consumer. I’ll take it in the bottle or the can…aluminum can that is.
