Jai Alai cans will be available starting tomorrow in tasting room and hitting distro soon, per the CCB Facebook page. I for one wish this would have happened last Friday, I would have loved to have some Jai Alai cans at the USF-FSU tailgate last weekend... Definitely would have made our game of flip-cup more entertaining hahahaha
Sweet! This will make my camping/climbing trip in November much more enjoyable. Any news on when Maduro will be available in a can?
Picked up a couple 6ers this morning. I like how they stamped them as 'FIRST RUN'. May have to hold on to an empty or two for the nostalgia.
Hopefully the date stamping is better on the cans than the bottles. Most bottles I come across have smeared dates. I don't buy ipas without a legible date stamp.
Oh, and if this hasn't been posted before...http://www.tampabay.com/news/business/article1254812.ece CCB brewpub.
Stamp is similar to what you see on the bottom of Oscar Blues cans... definitely more legible than what they put on their bottles
Not all of the dates look that good. Trust me. I see a ton of bottles in the store with unreadable dates.
Just picked up a six-pack, and yes the dates are WAY, WAY more legible than the bottles (and canned yesterday can not beat that!). The orange holders while kinda strange looking in the photo are actually quite cool looking in person, I have to say great job overall on the packaging CCB. The holders also seem to be made from 96% post consumer recycled plastic-if my reading of the packaging is correct-if so these cans are an even more environmentally friendly choice, and they seem to be a safer alternative for birds and sea-life as well. Now I can't wait to taste one later tonight.
I did notice after drinking my first can tonight (which by the way was ridiculously delicious) that the date stamp comes off pretty easily with water... Not that it really matters, just a random observation. I wonder if they can re-use the holders? I know I have reused them before with other beers. If so maybe they could put some sort of collection bin at the tasting room.
