(Chicago, IL) - Half Acre Beer Company has announced plans to start packaging their beer in cans.  There will be a canning line installed at the end of the month.  Once the brewery gets the canning line installed and operational, they will begin the transition from six-packs of 12ozbottles to four-packs of 16oz cans.  More and more craft breweries are deciding to go with cans, with Oskar Blues and 21st Amendmentsort of starting the whole thing within the craft segment.  Now though, tallboy cans seem to be taking off especially in craft beer, whereas Oskar Blues and 21st Amendment use 12oz cans.

Initially, they will be canning two beers, Daisy Cutter Pale Ale and Gossamer Golden Ale.  Look for cans to start rolling out of the brewery in April according to today's newsletter.  That's a pretty good turn around time for a line being installed at the end of the month.
