Just showed up on a beerblog on facebook.
Sierra Nevada to begin canning beer
Tailgaters and campers rejoice, great news from Sierra Nevada: later this year, its going to be easier and lighter to take their beer with you.
Our canning line should be in the building near July 4. It will be a couple of moths to get it up and running, but should start seeing Pale Ale in cans in late 2011.
Were on the fence about what other beers to release, but I think well have a couple of different brews available.
Cans will only be a small part of our output, but were excited to see how theyre received.
There are so many places where you cant or wont bring glass up here in the foothills it just doesnt make a lot of sense to bring a bunch of bottles with you in your backpack! This is really the reason were going for this.
