We also think cans are better for the consumer. Personally, we enjoy drinking beer outdoors. We like bringing it with us wherever we go and there are quite a few places where glass bottles aren’t allowed. With cans, you never have to worry about broken glass. And they have the added bonus of cooling down much quicker than glass bottles. We don’t have cold-activated mountains on our cans so you’ll just have to take our word for it. And finally, if done right, cans look fuckin’ cool.

LIFE OF A BEER CAN 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 A beer can begins life as a sheet of aluminum 5 feet wide, and as thin as human hair. “Cups,” 5.5 inches wide are punched from the sheet. 2 Each cup is stretched around a beer-can-shaped mold. An iron smooths the can tightly around the shape of the mold. This gives the can its canny shape (Youtube has some great videos on this process). 8 The varnish used here will only show up under ultraviolet light. In some facilities, cans are painted and varnished at a rate of 1800 cans per minute. 9 7 3 The lip of the open can is trimmed and smoothed. 10 Graphic: October Custom Publishing 4 The can is turned over and its base varnished. This allows it to move more easily on conveyer belts. 5 The can is cleaned, painted, then oven-dried. The cleaning process gives the can a shiny finish. 6 The can’s interior is varnished to stop the can eroding and ensures there is no metallic taste transferred to the beer from can’s metal sides. 7 The cans are then palletted and delivered to the brewery to be filled and “capped.” 8 Cans are filled and “capped” at the brewery. 9 Cans are distributed to bars, stores and other vendors, where they are purchased by consumers. The lid of the can is made of a thicker alloy than aluminum. When being made, the lid is scored so it will open easily when the tab is pulled. The can is designed to withstand pressures of over 90 psi. Many cans use aluminum that is as thin as human hair. 10 Recycling cans is super cost-effective. Cans are almost infinitely recyclable. 11 11 The recycled material is formed into a five foot wide aluminum sheet, and the process begins again.
