Back when I was a homebrewer, I dreaded “bottling day.” I especially dreaded sanitizing all those bottles. Today, most homebrewers put their beer in small kegs, but I brewed in a simpler, less-sophisticated era called the 1980s. Eventually, me and my homebrew buddies graduated to kegs, but I’ll never forget sanitizing all that bottling equipment. What a drag. Now, homebrewers have the option to package their beer in aluminum cans, just like the pro brewers. Times are good.
Last May we told you about Northwest Canning, a mobile canning company that helps breweries package their beer in aluminum cans. Essentially, they show up at the brewery with their mobile canning line and do the work. Northwest Canning has two events coming up that will allow homebrewers to get their beer canned. On March 30th and 31st, Northwest Canning will be at Sound Homebrew Supply in Seattle. On April 13th and 14th, they will be at Wingman Brewers in Tacoma. The cost is $25 for five gallons, $60 for 15 gallons. For more information, and to schedule a date/time, see the press release below.
