Re Seal

In a move that might have great potential especially with crowlers, Augusta Label + Packaging now has a patented resealable lid for canned beverages.

It is both leak and tamper proof and can be used with any can line or manual seamer. They are on their second generation lid now.  Cost and shelf life extension will be my big questions butI certainly hope it is something that can be perfected, especially if 16oz cans are going to be the dominant craft beer package, even for high ABV beers.

Re-Crowler

Looks like the next packaging step is close to upon us…..

Oskar Blues has taken that step by adding a new lid and cap to the traditional crowler. Will this put the final nail in the growler? Or can both coexist?
