Not so long ago, canned beer was looked down on as inferior to its bottled counterpart, but that bad reputation seems to be fading as a new breed of brewers are bringing the can back. “We feel strongly that aluminum cans are the best choice for our unique craft beers, offering significant advantages for us and our consumers,” says Nick Davidson, president of Tin Man Brewing Co. The Evansville, IN-based brewery recently announced it is offering four of its core beers in Rexam 16-oz. cans.
Tin Man Brewing Co.’s choice of cans over glass bottles is part of a growing movement, especially for members of the US craft beer industry that make smaller-batch domestic brews that often emphasize using high-quality and unique ingredients.
