    I expect it's a cost effective way to package and one 19.2 oz sells for more than two 12 oz.

    hah, surprised you remembered those..... they were unique and very practical...but the main issue was finding a long-term solution to keep the TPO levels down during packaging....while the format was great, its not sustainable if you cannot guarantee the quality control

    33.8 oz cans. Just a random number:wink:
    “Das Sixpoint Maßkrug” or “Mass Alpenflo”

    Not to get off subject, but while we are talking about the 12 packs, any chane on Jammer being packaged the same?

    Not to derail the thread, but Jammer was on tap at the release this last weekend and it was delicious. This year's batch should be real good.

    I basically alternated back and forth between Alpenflo and Jammer all afternoon as my main beers -- won't get much better than that combo when summer rolls around.

    Incredible, what will this do the price per case as I have picked up cases or jammer 1.0 and 2.0 in the past. Perfect summer sesher.

    No worries. We'll still have the regular 6packs of 12oz cans. This is just a new format we'll introduce for those who are looking for the XL Nanokegs.

    The 6packs will be out in just a few weeks, but the XL nanokegs will hit in June.

    T-minus 2 months until me and the wifey hit the NYC. She told me that it's either you guys or The Cannibal. It's close, but I really want to see your digs. Here's to hoping, man.

    Do these wind up in different channels? Seems...weird to have two retail packs of cans that are within 5oz total contents.

    Of course I think it's also weird when stores stock things like SN 12pks in both cans and bottles, and that happens all the time...

    I am a very recent fan of the 19.2 oz format so that or 24 oz would get my vote. Tonight I grabbed one to have with dinner and it was the perfect amount and the cans I have been seeing are cool, even the macros'.

    Still waiting to see Alpenflo in SEPA.
