(Battle Creek, MI) – Arcadia Ales received TTB label approval last week for its first canned beer.
According to MLive, Whitsun isn’t the only offering that will be canned this year either:
Within the next month, or shortly thereafter, Arcadia Brewing Co. in Battle Creek will have a new option for its customers — ale from cans.
Tim Suprise, founder and president of the brewing company, says he has purchased a canning line that will be installed at its downtown Battle Creek production facility.
The first ale to be produced in cans will be the company’s spring/summer seasonal, Whitsun. The design for the new can is being finalized this week. Suprise says, for fall, a second product, Sky High Rye, will be added.
The article was actually written a few weeks ago but a month seems like a short turnaround to get a canning line up and running based on what we’ve seen with other breweries. That said, the beer is already available on tap.
It’s worth noting that the brewery was once again on top of relief efforts after a natural disaster, too. Arcadia donated all draft sales on a Saturday earlier this month.
