Kentucky-based Braxton Brewing Company is launching its first canned beer on 16 November. The company will also be packaging and distributing Storm Golden Cream Ale.
Braxton Brewing Company's CEO and co-founder Jake Rouse said: "Words can't really describe the excitement at Braxton right now. It's been a milestone for our entire company - to package the product, and to be able to do so with our own canning line and beautifully printed cans from Ball has been a true team effort."
Despite the new developments, the company will continue to partner Stagnaro Distributing to deliver Storm to retailers in Northern Kentucky. Storm will be packed in 12 oz. cans and sold in 6-packs for $9.99.
Braxton Brewing Company's head brewer and co-founder Evan Rouse said: "Storm has always been one of my favorite recipes I developed, it's light, crisp, clean, and extremely drinkable. It made perfect sense to make it our first packaged product. For our customers to be able to take it home and enjoy it in their own homes and garages is a dream come true."
Storm has been positioned as a conventional beer featuring medium body with a creamy feel on the palate. Its aroma has a fine balance wavering between corn and malt-like, subtle earthy texture with spicy hop notes. It is pale straw coloured with bright clarity, Brewbound reports.
Storm cans will be available at Braxton Brewing Company taproom on 17 November. This coincides with the company's first bottle launch on 5 December. Dark Charge, the company's first bourbon barrel-aged project, will be packaged and sold in 22 oz. bottles.
