There\u2019s a big shift happening currently from glass bottles to cans, not only in sales but also in the volume of cans being produced. Predominantly the United States but also Australia\u2019s craft beer industries have seen a 30% growth in beer cans in the past year.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I prefer bottles\u201d, \u201cIt tastes like metal\u201d I hear you say? The perception of beer in cans has always been negative but the craft beer industry is changing that and the myth of the so called \u2018metallic&#8217; taste, is something of the past.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/CRUSH_ONLINE_CANS_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-50857\" src=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/CRUSH_ONLINE_CANS_3.jpg\" alt=\"Saggy Stone 500ml cans\" width=\"1000\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/CRUSH_ONLINE_CANS_3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/CRUSH_ONLINE_CANS_3-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/CRUSH_ONLINE_CANS_3-320x200.jpg 320w, https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/CRUSH_ONLINE_CANS_3-940x588.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/h4>\n<h4>Saggy Stone 500 ml cans keep light out<\/h4>\n<p>Beer&#8217;s number one enemy is light. Green beer bottles and even brown beer bottles are still vulnerable to the effects of light. Exposure for a long period of time will result in a beer with a \u2018skunky\u2019 aroma and flavour \u2013 known as \u2018lightstruck&#8217;.<\/p>\n<h4>Cans keep out oxygen<\/h4>\n<p>Cans are airtight and have no chance of any oxygen getting into the beer. In bottled beer, oxygen can still creep underneath the crown cap even if it\u2019s properly capped and over time will start to oxidize the beer giving it a stale cardboard-like flavour.<\/p>\n<h4>No more metal taste<\/h4>\n<p>Cans are no longer made of tin or steel. Modern cans are made of aluminium, and they have an aqueous polymer lining that locks in flavour and keeps the beer from coming into contact with the aluminium, so there is no longer a \u2018metal&#8217; taste. If you drink craft beer, just think of cans as mini-kegs of beer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/saggy-stone-500-ml-can-desert-lager.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-50736\" src=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/saggy-stone-500-ml-can-desert-lager.jpg\" alt=\"saggy-stone-500-ml-cans\" width=\"1000\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/saggy-stone-500-ml-can-desert-lager.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/saggy-stone-500-ml-can-desert-lager-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/saggy-stone-500-ml-can-desert-lager-940x526.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Cans chill faster<\/h4>\n<p>There\u2019s no more playing candy crush while waiting for your beers to chill.
