Craft beer lovers rejoiced earlier in the year with the news that they can enjoy a Green Beacon brew at their next house party or BBQ. Following the example set by US craft breweries, the beloved Teneriffe brewhouse released a range of canned beers to expand its range of influence and put its product in the reach of more customers. Green Beacon has packaged four types of its top-notch beers in cans, including its Cross Knot Kolsch, Wayfarer USA, 3 Bolt Pale and Windjammer IPA flavours.

There are many benefits of distributing cans over bottled varieties. The team at Green Beacon believe that cans offer better protection from oxygen, sunlight, temperature and various microbes, which can all contribute to the spoilage of packaged beer. Cans are safer than glass, more easily recycled and take up less space in the fridge. The cans can be found in an increasing amount of independent bottle shops so keep an eye out for them at your local.
