Getting started with Rexam. Ditch the Bottle? Microbreweries Say Can-Do. Late summer's the perfect time to crack open some wheaty, hoppy creation from one of the country's more than 1,500 craft breweries. But don't you dare reach for the bottle opener, says Marty Jones of Oskar Blues brewery, based in Lyons, Colorado, who is busy changing industry perception as well as making six-packs of irreverent ales like Mama's Little Yella Pils. "Our beer from a can is like Big Maybelle's voice coming from Ashlee Simpson's mouth," he says. "Folks don't expect such glorious, full-throated art from the lowly can. " As the first microbrewery to start canning its beer in 2002, Oskar Blues leads a pack of about 40 craft beer makers who are making the switch to aluminum in the name of both sustainability and better drinkability. While the craft beer industry itself is experiencing healthy growth--5.9% by volume and 10.1% by dollars in 2008, according to Beertown.org--canned craft beer sales have exploded.
The sustainability facts seem to be in the can's favor. No more. Northwest Canning - Home. BDG2C Beer News | Renegade Brewing Finds Its Niche. Brian O'Connell is a bit of a rebel who doesn't believe in doing what everyone else is already doing. He's a trailblazer. So when it came time to name his new brewery, he says the answer was obvious: Renegade Brewing Company. "I don't care if we're different, I want us to be different, I want us to stand apart. " Brian and his wife Khara opened Renegade on June 26th, 2011 in Denver's Santa Fe Arts District and close to two other breweries just blocks away - Strange Brewing Company and the long-established Breckenridge Brewery.
He quickly learned that that he'd located in the right place. "About a week after we opened, Todd Thiebault (Marketing Director) from Breckenridge came down, sat in my taproom, had a beer and invited me to come down to their 21st anniversary party and be part of it and pour our beer. We were the only other brewery invited. " Welcome to the neighborhood. Brian says the nearby Strange crew are just as friendly and open as well. Idaho Breweries.

Portneuf Valley Brewing Salmon River Brewery Sawtooth Brewery Ketchum's Local Brewery. Wild Goose. Assessing the mess inside his business Wednesday afternoon, Jeff Crabtree admitted he couldn’t remember the last time he’d seen the facility in such disarray.
Yet he couldn’t stop smiling, cracking a joke at every opportunity that came his way. The jovial Crabtree was beaming because by that time he knew the efforts that led to the wreckage at his Crabtree Brewery — dark puddles of India pale ale stretching across the concrete floor, empty aluminum cans rolling in every direction, beer-soaked machinery — turned out to be a successful endeavor. His beer was canned for the first time in the brewery’s history. “Quite a day,” said Crabtree, whose business previously only sold its beer in bottles and growlers, or by the pint-size glass at the brewery. “It’s very exciting for us.”
Because of Wednesday afternoon’s eventual success, Crabtree’s Eclipse — a black India pale ale — will be available in 16-ounce “tall boy” aluminum cans at nine Greeley liquor stores starting today.
