The folks at the CraftCans.com website posted an interview this morning with Geiger Powell, media and marketing director at Cigar City Brewing and the artist who created most of the Tampa brewery’s labels. In the interview, Powell revealed more about Cigar City’s plans to can several of its beers.
CraftCans.com also published renderings of the new can designs.
Among the highlights:
- A canning line has been purchased and the first beers are expected to ship by the end of the first quarter of 2012.
- The first five brands to be canned are Jai Alai IPA, Maduro Brown Ale, Tocobaga Red Ale, Hotter Than Helles lager and Florida Cracker White Ale.
- The brews will be in 12 oz. cans, but the idea of 16 oz. or larger cans may be considered.
- Cans will be available only in Florida at first, but are expected to “leak out” to other markets eventually.
