Cape May launches craft beer in Ardagh cans

Cape May Brewing Company has launched new four craft beers packaged in Ardagh 12 oz. and 16 oz. beverage cans. The new range includes Always Ready, Cape May IPA, Coastal Evacuation and Cape May White.

 “We’re emerging as a very trusted brand, where our customers know they’ll consistently see new products that meet any occasion,” Cape May Brewing Company’s CEO Ryan Krill said. “We continue to carve out a specific niche in the crowded craft beer market where the highest quality ingredients are the foundation for innovation and variety.”

“We are increasingly turning to cans as they best preserve our specific taste profiles and keep the beer fresher for longer periods of time.”  

“We also serve the Jersey shore and cans are allowed on beaches, golf courses, etc. where other pack types are not. The bottom line is cans are lightweight, great for beer quality and are infinitely recyclable.”

The company’s new products are available at retail outlets across New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware, including Whole Foods, Acme, Drizly, Shoprite and Wegman’s as well as more than 2,000 smaller beer retailers.

Ardagh Metal – Beverage North America CEO Claude Marbach said “We’re proud to work closely with Cape May to assure its craft beer quality and taste objectives are met in our cans as the company builds its brand. “We’re also excited to support the company’s environmental and sustainability platform as cans provide the highest recycle rate and content numbers, complementing already compelling business reasons to choose cans to package growth and success.”
