    PAULANER USA INNOVATES WITH LAUNCH OF CANS IN THE U.S.
    New Cans Capture Authentic Appeal While Delivering Authentic Taste


    WHITE PLAINS, NY – Paulaner USA, the U.S. importer of the legendary Paulaner Brewery portfolio and other premium beverage alcohol brands, has announced that Germany’s #1 Hefe-Weizen and Original Munich Lager will now be available in the U.S. in 16.9oz cans. This innovation taps into the growing consumer demand for packages that meet their unique and constantly evolving occasion expectations. The new cans hit the market spring 2019 just in time for the biergarten and summer seasons, and feature a fresh new look that embodies the brands 400 year-plus Bavarian heritage.

    “We are thrilled to launch our products in cans as we continue to find ways to satisfy the needs of our consumers and allow them to enjoy our product without comprising flavor,” says Steve Hauser, President/CEO of Paulaner USA. “What’s more, with the product now available in cans is current and prospective Paulaner fans can now drink a real Bavarian brew in places that may restrict glass bottles. This includes venues like concerts, golf courses, beaches or even biergartens, to name a few,” he adds.

    The new lightweight, easy to carry cans are BPA free, unbreakable and designed to protect the flavor of the beer. The cans also protect the beer from the negative effects of UV light and oxygen, preserving the authentic taste in the outdoors. As both products strictly adhere to Germany's Beer Purity Law, also known as the Reinheitsgebot, cans protect the standards by which all other beers are judged. The Reinheitsgebot delivers the purity and quality of beer by allowing only four ingredients in the brewing process: hops, malt, yeast and water. As a result, consumers know they are getting the highest quality beer, free of adjuncts, artificial coloring, flavoring and added chemicals.

    “Hauser adds that quality and taste are equally important, and we continue to deliver to the customer an authentic German beer using the finest ingredients that strictly follow the Reinheitsgebot. “The combination of our outstanding beer in a high quality can provides the best of both worlds to consumers. The cans perfectly reflect our traditional heritage to appeal to both long-time Paulaner fans as well as a whole new generation,” Hauser continues. “They also are environmentally friendly and easier to recycle than glass, a consideration that is more important today than ever.

    The Paulaner Hefe-Weizen is the #1 selling wheat beer in Germany, and a favorite around the world. This traditional unfiltered Hefe-Weizen is naturally cloudy and silky gold under a really strong head of foam. At first mouthful, some will detect a hint of banana aroma. Fine palates perceive trace of mango and pineapple and the balance between sweet and bitter. Overall, beer connoisseurs appreciate the incomparable flavor of Paulaner Hefe-Weizen for its perfectly balanced mix of aromas and refreshing taste. It’s a superb biergarten or outdoor drinking bier.

    The Original Munich Lager is a true classic with its clear and bright gold sparkling hue, crowned by a pure white head. A beer which always goes down smoothly: mild, elegant malts, with a hint of sweetness and a soft hint of hops in the back note. This Munich beer is ideal to accompany spare ribs and spicy dishes.

    Adhering to the Reinheitsgebot requires a true mastery of the brewing process and Paulaner offers a wide array of beer styles, all created using a handful of select, high quality ingredients. The brewmasters at the legendary brewery use craftsmanship and brewing methods passed down by generations of brewmasters before them, and perfected over hundreds of years. This allows them to create bold and unique flavors that appeal to all types of tastes palettes, while still adhering to the same laws and principles their predecessors have followed for centuries.

    “This is the first in a series of innovations and exciting events to come from Paulaner this year,” Hauser concludes. “We continue to be focused on offering our customers the very finest and highest quality beer and an outstanding experience.”

    I swear recalling Paulaner available in 12oz cans about 2 or 3 summer's ago. Could be wrong though. Either way another great summer option.

    I always thought that their hefeweizen was a real sleeper that surprisingly doesn't get much praise around here. This will be a great opportunity to get reacquainted with the stuff.

    That's what the statement on the side of the can implies:

    Alright! This is great - I will most definitely pick up their Munich lager in cans.

    C'mon, @zid - are you saying that packaging beer in roughly "pint-sized" metal cans isn't innovative? The Jos. Schlitz Brewing Co., the largest brewer in the world at the time, sure did --- back 65 years ago when they claimed it was the "greatest" innovation since sliced bread (or something like that).

    If it was innovative then, why not now, when (even more than "Gusto") the beer drinkin' kids love 'em some innovation!

    Unless there's a forklift around, or an employee with bad aim wielding a box cutter, or a case is dropped in a concrete parking lot = beer shower time.

    Let's all play - Catch that spinnin', sprayin' beer can.

    I've always liked the Paulaner line-up, but felt that Hacker-Pschorr turned out more distinctive Munich beers.

    Did Paulaner ever open their new brewery outside of Munich? When I toured the brewery in 2015, the tour guide said they were building a new brewery and would be closing their existing 400-year-old brewery, but I've never seen any news online since then.

    In all honesty, I don't think either Paulaner, H-P, or Spaten is quite what they used to be. And Hofbrau has been my go-to for the past few years for Munich brews. But these cans will provide me with a nice opportunity to get a better handle on where things stand now.

    Picked up a 4-pack of Hefe-Weizen in 16.9 oz cans. There are both the born-on and best by dates one year apart printed clearly on the bottom of the can. Kudos to Paulaner for making the dates so clear, I wish other breweries would follow their example.

    I was just thinking the other day, “Imagine if Weihenstephan started canning?”

    Hopefully this starts a trend. At the very least it ensures fresher beer in the short term...well, it should anyhow.
