US-based beer maker Huss Brewing has launched new craft beers in recyclable aluminium cans supplied by Ardagh.

The available canned craft beers include Scottsdale Blonde, Magic in the Ivy Pale Ale, The Husstler America Lager, Koffee Kolsch, Papago Orange Blossom and Koffee Kolsch.

The 12oz cans are claimed to protect the product from light and help maintain ingredient integrity. The cans can also be recycled at more than double the rate of other beverage packaging.

“Lightweight cans enable us to ship efficiently across large areas while retaining very specific and satisfying taste profiles.”

Ardagh Metal North America CEO Claude Marbach said: “We’re very pleased to partner with the Huss team to support their efforts to build their brand and business.

“We remain excited about the further growth potential of craft beer as more variety is brought to retail and beverage cans are chosen as a means to efficiently reach new markets.”

The products are currently available at Huss Brewery taprooms in Tempe and Phoenix, US. They will also be available at food and beverage outlets across the region, including Whole Foods, Albertson’s stores.

Huss Brewery co-owner Leah Huss said: “We want to bring our unique and satisfying craft beers to the masses and be the most sought-after beer brand in Arizona.

“And lightweight cans enable us to ship efficiently across large areas while retaining very specific and satisfying taste profiles.”
