The Fulton Labeled Can Saga™

“Hey – why is there a label on this can?” you’re doubtlessly asking yourself. Here’s why: among all the other significant ways COVID has been a complete pain in the arse, it has also affected supply chains—especially aluminum supply chains.

 Cans printed at the factory are preferred by most breweries (including ours) because they look and feel the best, are more cost effective, and are better for the environment. But they require long lead times and high minimum quantities. At the same time, at-home consumption of adult beverages has skyrocketed during the pandemic (understandable, right?), driving demand up as supplies dwindle.

It’s been a real challenge to stay ahead of this issue these past 18 months, and with demand for Lonely Blonde in cans at record levels (THANK YOU), we had to make a choice so as not to run out of inventory before the next shipment of cans came in.

 Then Pete—one of our founders—had an idea: dust off the trusty ol’ labeling machine we had sitting in storage and use it to make labels to slap on existing can stock. So we gave that labeling machine a reassuring pat and said “Get to work, buddy.” Plus, a new label supplier came to the rescue with lightning-fast turnaround times.

So there it is—you are now officially up-to-date on the whole The Fulton Labeled Can Saga™, and can recite it verbatim to friends when they ask why their cans are labeled, and look like someone who is wise in all the ways of the world. Cheers to that.
