Do you Can, Can, Can...
|
 |
| Italian canning machine. |
 |
Cans are like "Mini kegs" for your beer, keeps it fresher than bottles because sunlight is death to beer. Shipping weight, breakage, and storage costs are lower with cans compared to bottles operations.
|
 |
| Worthy uses barrels to age some of their craft beers. |
 |
| Cold storage is kept at 42 degrees Fahrenheit. Adjust your home refrigerator accordingly. |
 |
