Last Tuesday the Amsterdam Brewing Company received a new canning line from Cask Brewing Systems in Calgary and had it up and running by Friday, testing out its capabilities and filmed it to showcase on YouTube.
"The video is the first cans coming off the line and we only ran 50 cases. Our first official run is this Wednesday and we should be running a few hundred cases," said Amsterdam's Brew Master, Jamie Mistry. Misty also stated that the output is 30 cans per minute.
Amsterdam will be canning their newest addition to the family, Big Wheel Amber (which was shown in the video), along with their Natural Blond, and KLB Raspberry Wheat in 473mls cans, which should start appearing in LCBO's in about one month. And later this summer Amsterdam will be introducing a new 'low calorie light' beer that will also be canned.
"LCBO sales should start in about a month, we are still finishing off the 500mls bottles for now and once they are done we will be swapping over to the cans. You can pick up the Big Wheel right now at our beer store for $2.50 per 473 can."
