Perrin’s Grapefruit IPA and Veterans Pale Ale Now in Cans

Perrin Brewing Company's new canning line is up and running.

Perrin's Grapefruit IPA and Veterans Pale Ale (VPA) are now both available to be purchased in cans at Perrin's taproom in Comstock Park.

Perrin is planning local distribution and the canning of three more beers later this year.

The new canning line allowed the brewery to offer 12 ounce six-packs beginning August 3rd.

"I'm really excited for our release of cans. We have seen some extremely high growth with selling of only draft beer this entire time, and packaging will take it a step further," said Perrin Production Team Manager John Stewart.

Stewart added, "I'm really happy we are going with cans, canned craft beer has a really positive reception in Michigan, with everyone being able to take cans with them wherever they go. Cans are also exceptionally good at keeping the quality of beer high, and cans don't allow light or oxygen into the package to murder the beer."

Perrin will begin distributing their canned beers into the surrounding four county area; Kent, Montcalm, Barry, and Ionia, through West Side Beer Distributing.

Gold Ale, Black Ale, and 98 Problems IPA will follow with distribution in late summer and early fall.
