When brewers from small breweries get together these days, the conversation almost always turns to something now familiar: how to get more beer into cans for takeout sales. The topic is bizarre (you might even say uncanny) for some brewers, especially those who had little or no interest in canning their beer before the COVID-19 pandemic.
But times have changed oh, how they ve changed and canning beer for to-go sales, wholesale distribution and even home delivery is now paramount to staying in business, since social distancing requirements prevent taprooms from seating at full capacity and since a good percentage of potential customers will likely choose to remain at home for many more months.
Hey, creative types! Two different beer makers, Great Divide Brewing and Pikes Peak Brewing, are throwing out a call to artists to design their next beer cans.
Pikes Peak is looking for a design for its brand-new cans of Tejon Mexican Lager, which it started brewing upon opening the second Pikes Peak taproom, the Lager House, in Colorado Springs. The easy-drinking lager is made with flaked maize and Lemondrop hops; it s named after the street where the Lager House sits. The details are available on the brewery s website, but they include a look that will be more fun than the brewery s existing label design.
