Frequently Asked Questions

What's the deal with the label over the printed cans?
We are labeling over pre-printed cans. We promise the beer in the can matches the label on the outside. This isn’t our first choice, but cans are in extremely short supply due to shortages brought on by an increase in at-home consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Compared to the big brewers and soda companies, our needs are a small drop in the bucket and we are being shorted on orders that have been in the pipeline for months. We have chosen to label over the cans we have on hand so that we don’t leave the shelves empty.
We hope you will continue to support our Independent, Family-owned and operated brewery as we work our way together through this unprecedented situation.
