    My buddy, who works for Perrin brewing, was told Kuhnhenn purchased their Krones bottling line for their expansion. I know not the best source of information but thought it was worthy of discussion.

    If I remember right that's the same bottling system Founders has. Hopefully they'll put it to good use and pump out some serious bottles.

    Srs. Moar DRIPA plz.

    If its true, i would still bank on getting several different answers from the tap room employees.

    Kuhnhenn has a Krones bottling line and a Huppmann brew house for the expansion. Some well thought of craft breweries have that combination. Examples I have seen include Sierra Nevada and Firestone Walker.

    When I was at Perrin in June, I seen Bret and Eric Kuhnhenn's father (whom I had met and shared beers with previously) taking pictures of Perrin's bottling line. I'm excited to see them expand. BBBW 6pks FTW!!!

    As a side question, did Perrin ever bottle any of their beers?

    I'd pay it.

    I'd hate myself afterwards, but I'd pay it.

    No. They couldn't keep up with keg demands.

    Was at Perrin; bottling line was being disassembled. Staff said it was headed to Kuhnenn. They intend to can beer.

    Just stopped by Kuhnhenn. One of the people behind the bar said they heard about the new bottling equipment, but someone misplaced it.
