Half Acre moving to CANS!
11
Apr
2010
Here is why we’ll be moving to cans:
1. Cans allow no light into the beer. For a craft brewing company like ours that tries very hard to keep all of the natural qualities of beer intact, doesn’t pasteurize or use stabilizers, it’s important to preserve those elements. Cans offer the best way to do that. So, with Oxygen pickup in the canning process as low or lower than any other and beer never touching the can itself due to a protective lining, beer is safer in a can.
2. Cans are nearly 100% recyclable and are less than one-third the weight of a bottle, so the overall environmental footprint is much smaller.
3. Boats, beaches, bike paths, ball games, rock shows, retreats, riding skateboards, hiking, handgliding, fishing, Frisbee, on and on and on; no broken glass. Drink it, crush it, get it out of there.
So, off we go. Should we “need” to shotgun a few beers along the way, we’ll be able to do that too.

New Holland Knickerbocker Gin
Knickerbocker Gin is a vibrant, aromatic spirit twice distilled and infused with flavors from more than a dozen herbs and spices. Generous amounts of juniper-berries contribute a bright citrus and evergreen body, bursting with flavor before a clean, dry finish. Named for the Dutch explorers of a new world, Knickerbocker celebrates modern exploration in the historic realm of distilling.
New Holland Dragons Milk
Dragon’s Milk is a 17th century term used to describe the strong beer usually reserved for royalty. This strong ale was aged in oak for over 120 days. The aging process extracts flavors from the wood, which contribute to its complex character. Hints of bourbon flavor perfectly compliment its roasted malts to produce a beer fit for a King.
Charles Smith "Kung Fu Girl Riesling"
The grapes used in Charles Smith's "Kung Fu Girl" Riesling are harvested from a single rocky vineyard, resulting in a wine with lush aromatics and tons of flavor. On the nose, Kung Fu Girl is bursting with Asian pear, white peach and spring flowers. Apricot, pear, lime, and a pleasant minerality keep this off-dry wine at the perfect level of subtle sweetness. This is a great wine for a summer picnic.
