Why Cans?
Imagine an aluminum can as a suit of armor for your beer. Like a miniature keg it blocks out light, prevents oxidization, and is durable for when you drop the six-pack in the parking lot.
Even better, cans are lightweight, easy to transport, and can go places that bottles can’t. You can throw them in your bicycle bag and forget they are there, or haul a cooler full of them up the Minnesota North Shore to a state park or recreation area where bottles are likely prohibited.

Oxygen |
Ever drink a beer out of a keg from a house party that ended a couple days earlier? Stale you might say? You’re tasting the effects of oxidization and it’s almost as bad as having to cleanup the house.
When compared to bottles cans have lower oxygen levels. (period!). |
Durability |
Full cans of beer are hard to break. So next time you are juggling Junior, the groceries, and a six pack of Indeed while trying to get into the car go ahead and drop the six-pack, Junior does not need to be a sacrificial lamb. |
Environment |
Cans are better for the environment than bottles as they are lighter to transport, thereby using less fuel, and they are fully recyclable, aluminum cans are turned into more aluminum unlike bottles which are ground up and used to make roads. Roads suck when compared to more cans of Indeed. |
Light |
Beer does not like light. Except for the brief time it spends in your pint glass it prefers to be in the pitch black. Too much light and beer becomes skunky, yuck.
Cans are completely opaque. Except for radio waves and neutrinos cans let absolutely no light past their thin aluminum skin keeping your beer tasting like it should. Delicious! |
