New glass standards O-I has launched new standard glass bottles for the brewing industry. The first new shape is a 330ml champagne style beer bottle which takes a standard 26mm crown. This stablemate to O-Is 500ml and 750ml champagne style bottles offers the perfect pack for premium craft light beers. The bottle is available in amber glass and weighs 200g. Its second new offering is a high shouldered 330ml bottle with long straight sides to extend the range. This 214mm high bottle weighs 215g. The company has also developed lighter weight versions of some of existing popular standards. Its new long-necked 330ml beer standard reduces glass weight from 218g to 200g without any change to the key external dimensions of the container height diameter label panel. A lighter version of O-Is 500ml standard reduces its weight from 300g to 280g matching industry leaders such as Adnams. Micro-canning revolutionary Cask Brewing Systems has announced another ground-breaking package and canning machine for craft brewers. Casks new package The Cag - combines the portability recyclability and freshness-keeping power of the aluminium can with the beer industrys draft beer mainstay the stainless steel keg. We think The Cag will revolutionise craft beer packaging and the buying and dispensing of beer for parties around the world says Cask founder Peter Love. Each Cag is made of light-gauge aluminium holds 15.5 US gallons of beer and stands 36 inches tall. We call it the really really tallboy says Cask spokesman Marty Jones. For draft beer lovers Cask offers a special tap that mounts at the bottom of The Cag. With a Cag Love says consumers no longer need to put down deposits for kegs and taps or have heavy and costly dispensing equipment. And when your Cag is empty you just crush it down and toss it in your pocket or recycling bin. To fill and seam Cags Cask created another pioneering new machine. The ACS XXL fills five Cags at a time and requires just 22 square feet of brewery space. The worlds largest micro-canning machine the ACS XXL will be available this spring in time for a new Cag Party promotional campaign from Cask. www.cask.com For more information visit www.glass-catalog.com For more information visit 46 BREWING BEVERAGE INDUSTRIES BUSINESS Bottles Cans Introducing the Cag Embossed is the choice Beatson Clarks first standard embossed beer bottle has been chosen by Ridgeway Brewery of Oxfordshire to bottle its extensive range of craft beers. The new smaller 330ml amber bottle has the words Craft Beer embossed around the shoulder and is ideal for the new generation of ales which often have a higher alcohol content by volume. Peter Scholey co-owner of Ridgeway Brewery said While the UK ales market has long been mostly in 500ml bottles the 330ml market is growing. For some time there has been a variety of 500ml bottles available but the choice in 330ml has been very limited so Beatson Clarks initiative to offer subtle changes to a standard range provides the opportunity to do something about that. He added We are a bottled beer only business selling absolutely nothing to pubs so we have to be good at bottled beer. Because of that the opportunity to use a generic Craft Beer branded bottle is ideal for what we do and matches the profile of our beers and our customers. Beatson Clarks extensive standard drinks range contains 30 bottle designs in a variety of shapes and sizes available in both amber and white flint glass. Several of these bottles are lightweighted and many are available from stock giving breweries plenty of choice when it comes to finding a packaging solution to suit their product. www.beatsonclark.co.uk For more information visit 46_Layout 1 21042016 1449 Page 1
