From Smartmouth Brewing:
Coming soon, Smartmouth’s three flagship beers (Alter Ego Saison, Rule G IPA and Murphy’s Law Amber Ale) will be available in crafty 12-ounce cans. These lightweight, fully recyclable, portable mini-kegs will never shatter, never skunk and never chip a tooth. Until now, our beer has been available by draft only in bars, restaurants and the popular Smartmouth tasting room. Fans will be able to grab a six-pack from local grocery and convenience stores and spend some quality time with Smartmouth’s newest family members.
The Smartmouth team worked with The Meridian Group of Virginia Beach to design eye-catching, captivating cans that mimic the blackboard walls in the Smartmouth Tasting Room. The doodles and formulas are derived from the brewing process or bits and pieces of our history that make us uniquely Smartmouth. Smartmouth will be posting the key (attached to this press release) that reveals the descriptions for those who are curious. Drink and learn.
Smartmouth is committed to serving great beer and cans provide better packaging than bottles. There are two primary enemies of finished beer – oxygen and light. The double-crimped seal on a can is better at preventing air from getting to the beer than bottle caps and no light can penetrate the aluminum. Can are infinitely recyclable which makes them more environmentally friendly than bottles. Each can weighs less than a bottle by approximately 6oz and takes up less space, which means it is takes less energy to ship a pallet or carry a six pack home or stack them in your fridge. Cans also cool faster than bottles so you can enjoy them faster. Last, cans go where bottles can’t – including swimming pools, boats and the beach.
