CBC, which has not used a can previously for any of its beers, felt that the quality of the latest generation of aluminium can was finally good enough for their customers, and their beer.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>CBC\u2019s new creation is produced in Sweden in partnership with Swedish brewery \u00c5bro, which has one of the most advanced can fillers in Europe. The can itself is created using sophisticated aluminium processing technology, and provides a perfect seal for the beer while guaranteeing its taste and flavour. The can was chosen not only because of its ability to preserve the beer\u2019s quality, but also because it is portable, quick-chilling, and sustainable.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The new beer customers will be drinking when they open the can is a classically top-fermented Pale Ale. The recipe is a result of close collaboration between Wolfgang Koedel, CBC\u2019s brewmaster and Lennarth Anemyr, the master brewer at \u00c5bro Breweries in Sweden. Together they have more than 60 years of brewing experience, and have created a beer that will be enjoyed by master brewers, CBC\u2019s fans, and beer drinkers across South Africa.<a href=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/CBC-Brewmaster-Wolfgang-Koedel-on-his-journey-in-Sweden-with-the-CBC-Pale-Ale-Can.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25522\" src=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/CBC-Brewmaster-Wolfgang-Koedel-on-his-journey-in-Sweden-with-the-CBC-Pale-Ale-Can.jpg\" alt=\"CBC-Brewmaster-Wolfgang-Koedel\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/CBC-Brewmaster-Wolfgang-Koedel-on-his-journey-in-Sweden-with-the-CBC-Pale-Ale-Can.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/CBC-Brewmaster-Wolfgang-Koedel-on-his-journey-in-Sweden-with-the-CBC-Pale-Ale-Can-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/CBC-Brewmaster-Wolfgang-Koedel-on-his-journey-in-Sweden-with-the-CBC-Pale-Ale-Can-940x627.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>CBC\u2019s new Pale Ale will be available at major retailers and liquor stores nationwide from mid-March 2016.<\/p>\n<p>To coincide with its debut, CBC will launch its own smartphone app specially designed for its fans to get the most out of their love of CBC craft beer.
