First Beer, Neon Rainbows, Available 5/26
Ommegang Starts To Can
At Cooperstown Brewery
COOPERSTOWN – Brewery Ommegang today announced the installation of a new canning line and the launch of the brewery’s first on-site-only can release, the New England-style IPA Neon Rainbows, which to-date has been available only in very limited quantities on draft.
The first canned run of Neon Rainbows will deliver 16-ounce four-packs for sale only at the brewery beginning at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 26, one case per customer.
The maiden canning run for the new system was on Tuesday, April 24, when Ommegang’s Nirvana IPA was packaged in 16-ounce cans for the very first time.
“For hop-forward beers and others that tend to travel with our drinkers to mountain tops, beaches, concerts and beyond, cans are an ideal format," said Rick DeBar, Ommegang’s technical manager. "Not only do they provide additional protection against light strike, but they’re more environmentally friendly on multiple levels as well, something we always strive to take into account.”
