…and it could be the easily shipped cans from Tallgrass Brewing!
Here is the chain of events that led the brewery to can…
“The call was from a Tallgrass drinker in western Kansas. He had about 20 empty cases of IPA bottles and boxes stacked in his garage. I guess he really likes it. He wanted to return the boxes for us to reuse, but since he was so far away, picking them up was not an option. I asked him to recycle the glass and cardboard, but he did not have a local recycler. It would all have to go to the local landfill.”
That phone call inspired Gill to look into the viability of cans. Several months later, Gill is returning from a field trip across the country to Ball Corporation where his cans are being manufactured.
Tallgrass will soon can Tallgrass Ale, Oasis, Buffalo Sweat, Kold and IPA.
I do need to add more canned beers to my 50 from 50 challenge.
