In 2002, in the funky little town of Lyons, Colorado, they shattered craft beer convention by stuffing their voluminously hopped mutha of a brew, Dale’s Pale Ale, into a portable, crushable, infinitely recyclable can. Craft beer in a can stays fresher for longer, and it’s easy to pack in (and pack out) on any soul-saving adventure. They now operate breweries in Colorado, North Carolina, and Texas to provide craft beer in a can to all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and 17 other countries.
