Amid the completion of their new 34,000 sq. ft. facility, Uinta
Brewing Company welcomed a state-of-the-art canning line and a 600
bbl brite tank. These pieces are the
first of the brewing equipment to take residence in Uinta's new building, which
sits immediately south of Uinta’s existing facility.
The new canning line, manufactured in Germany by Krones AG,
is able to fill
and seal 400 cans per minute.
To introduce its new form of packaging, Uinta will can four mainstay
brews: Cutthroat
Pale Ale, Hop Notch IPA, Wyld Organic Pale
Ale, and Baba Organic
Black Lager.
Canning these will not take from the brands’ traditional packaging
outfit, they will continue to be available in the proprietary Compass Bottle,
the novel design Uinta adopted as part of its major 2011 aesthetic revamp. The Uinta team, comprised of outdoor
enthusiasts, was eager to add a package that pairs well with exploration. Cans
will allow Uinta product to join consumers on outdoor adventures, a reality
that aligned with the heart of Uinta.
Uinta's can art was designed to integrate smoothly into the
current packaging. Aside from some
creative modifications, to help the bottle-to can transition, the apple doesn’t
fall far from the tree. And each can,
like each bottle, is adorned with Uinta’s trademark compass, ensuring that you'll
never get lost with a Uinta beer in hand.
With the installation and
commissioning of the canning line scheduled for late February, Uinta hopes to
get these cans rolling out in early March, 2013
Uinta has broadened its market and can be
found in 24 states
from coast-to-coast, and has even ventured to other countries around the
world.

I've gotta say, that's a great line-up.
