(Newport, OR) – Rogue Ales received label approval this week for American Amber Ale 16 oz. cans.

This would be the first time, at least to our knowledge, that Rogue would be available in cans.

According to Craftcans.com, over 300 U.S. breweries are now packaging beers in cans with many regional craft breweries now on board, Rogue apparently hoping to soon be among them.

Nearby, Deschutes Brewery also announced that it would release Mirror Pond Pale Ale in cans this year, perhaps even this summer, but the cans have not been released yet as of mid-July.

Worth noting…no packaging location is indicated on the label so we aren’t sure whether these will be produced in-house.

An email is out to the brewery requesting more info.
