Craft Breweries Switching to Aluminum Cans
Craft beer is encroaching on more than cooler space; the fast-growing malt beverage segment is also entering territory once designated to Budweiser and MillerCoors -- the aluminum can. Even though craft beer in a can debuted in the cooler in 2002 when Colorado's Oskar Blues Brewery began canning its Dale's Pale Ale, it didn't gain momentum until recently, according to The Washington Post. Two years ago, 50 craft breweries (mostly small ones) sold their products in cans. Today that number is approaching 150, and it's not just the small breweries anymore. There are drawbacks too. While more craft beer is moving to the can, one Florida brewery is taking on Anheuser-Busch InBev over a bottle -- more specifically a blue bottle. As CSNews Online reported last month, Anheuser-Busch InBev will launch Bud Light Platinum, a higher-alcohol version of its namesake, in January. It will also come in blue bottle. However, the Florida Beer Company (FBC) recently released its seasonal Oktoberest called "Conchtoberfest" which also comes in a blue bottle.
