Local brewery kicks off New Year with launch of new range of canned beers

One of Ireland’s most established craft breweries has kicked off the New Year with the launch of a full range of canned beers.

Galway Bay Brewery’s core range will now be available in 33cl cans, with all limited edition, seasonal, and collaborative brews available in 44cl cans.

The core range includes Of Foam & Fury, a double IPA; Full Sail, a simple malt beer; Bay Ale , a traditional ale; Althea , a modern American Pale Ale; and Buried at Sea, a chocolate milk stout.

Limited edition beers that are now available in cans include Weights & Measures – a citra session IPA – and Slow Lives, a German-style Helles Lager. New limited edition beers will be released in cans each month.

Galway Bay Brewery owner Jason O’Connell said they were very excited about this next step – and starting 2020 on such a high.

“In recent years we have seen increasing demand for cans of craft beer and have gotten a great reaction to the limited edition cans we have released using an outside canning service,” he said.

“We are delighted to have taken the canning in-house and to offer our complete core range, monthly specials and seasonal beers in cans.

“We do our best to be as sustainable and environmentally conscious as possible, and the fact that cans are greener in relation to packaging, shipping and recycling is very important to us as well,” he added.
