Mother Earth Brewing is taking a step forward as it begins canning beer, Eyewitness News reported on June, 17.
The brewery's product is currently sold in bottles and kegs.
The state of the art canning line will make its debut this week.
Second Wind Pale Ale and Sunny Haze, a Hefeweizen Style Ale, will be the first two beers canned. Head Brewer, Josh D. Brewer noted, “Very beer the consumer can currently get in bottle form from Mother Earth Brewing will continue to be made and packaged in bottles; the cans are an addition to our line-up.”
While canned beer was once thought of as inferior and bottled beer reigned, more and more cra craft breweries are canning some (or all) of their craft beers. President Trent Mooring explained “Cans are lighter to transport, and there’s no fear of breakage, but it really gets down to taste- some beer enthusiasts simply prefer the taste of canned beer, believing cans preserve flavor and carbonation better than bottles.”
Mother Earth Brewery is a 40 barrel craft brewery that bottles and kegs beer for sale in its Kinston, NC Taproom. Their brews are also available for distribution in bars, restaurants and retail locations throughout North Carolina.
