Rexam partners with Indiana brewery

Rexam Beverage Can North America (Rexam BCNA), headquartered in Chicago, has partnered with Tin Man Brewing Co., based in Evansville, Indiana, to package the brewer’s craft beer in Rexam’s aluminum cans. 

Tin Man Brewing says it is passionate about packaging its beers in aluminum cans. On the company’s hosted website, www.cansarebetter.com, Tin Man Brewing describes four reasons why the brewery packages its products in aluminum cans. When compared with glass packaging, according to Tin Man’s website, aluminum cans offer better protection from sunlight; are cheaper to ship because they are one-tenth the weight of glass bottles; can be distributed at more public events because they are unbreakable; and are cheaper to produce. 

“We feel strongly that aluminum cans are the best choice for our unique craft beers, offering significant advantages for us and our consumers,” says Nick Davidson, president, Tin Man Brewing Co. “And we are pleased to team with Rexam. They understand the needs and challenges craft brewers face and have been an excellent partner to us.” 

Claude Marbach, sector director, Rexam BCNA, says, “Our cans are the perfect packaging for craft beers as they help attract attention on store shelves, maintain beverage integrity and deliver superior recycling, filling, distribution and retail display economics that will help the brewery continue to build its brand and business.” 

Tin Man Brewing Co.’s beers in cans are available at select retailers in Indiana and Kentucky. 

Rexam BCNA, a global beverage can manufacturer, operates 55 aluminum can plants in more than 20 countries worldwide.
