We brought you the original story of Churchkey Brewing’s upcoming use of Flat Top (old school) steel cans for their Pilsner….and now more details are emerging from Ball Corporation who will supply the cans.
Ball Corporation, the manufacturer of high quality packaging, has been selected to supply three-piece, flat top beer cans to Churchkey Can Company. The cans are made from recyclable steel that sufficiently protect the beer both from light and oxygen.
Churchkey, the producer of Northwest-brewed Pilsner style craft beer, decided to bring back the flat top beer cans of the past, invented in the mid 1930s. At that time metal openers called church keys were used to open the beer cans. The cans were finally pulled out of market in the 1960s.
The steel cans made by Ball Corp. have the highest recycling rates of 66% and can be shipped easily with minimum fuel to the brewery and retail outlets. Steel cans that chill faster than bottles can be carried anywhere without the fear of spilling the content. More details here from zacks.com
