For You, we can!
PUBLISHED ON 3/4/2015 – BY SARA NORRIS AND NATE SOROKO Via: @thrillist
Of all the many, many reasons why we’re lucky to call San Diego home, our ass-kicking (and ass-expanding) craft beer scene has to be right up there with any of them. We don’t like to brag (fine, we LOVE to brag), but it’s abundantly clear that San Diego’s the best beer town in America. Here are 12 forms of proof, courtesy of Nate Soroko, beer guru atToronado.

You pinched every penny. You begged, borrowed, and stole to start your brewery. People are enjoying your beer at the taproom, and now you want to expand your reach. You still don’t have capital to buy a dedicated canning or bottling line. Matt Woempner, from Mobile West Canning, in San Diego, California, explains how mobile canning can work for you.
Mobile Canning West serves San Diego, Arizona and Southern Nevada. Mobile Canning Systems provides training and guidance to all of their affiliates. So if you’re outside of
Mobile West Canning’s area, you can likely find another affiliate who will come to you.
The system is pretty similar throughout.
Contact the mobile canners when you start a new batch of beer. So they’ll have enough time to schedule your job.
This might be the first time that you’re beer in being packaged, so attention short be given to the label. “Artwork, artwork, artwork,” says Matt. TTB has requirements for your label design, and many state alcohol control boards have additional requirements. The mobile canner will help make sure your labels are in compliance.
When the canners arrive, they’ll wheel the machine into your brewery, within several feet of the fermenter or bright tank. They will bring one or 2 people, and they’ll need the help of a few people from your brewery.
At the end of the day, your beer is in 12 oz. or 16 oz. cans, and ready to be sold!
There is a ton of detailed information in this episode—too much to recap here. So listen to the whole episode and see if mobile canning can help you achieve the goals for your brewery.

From pale ales to porters and brown ales to bocks, breweries from across the state and beyond are readying their best brews in preparation for the 15th annual Arizona Strong Beer Festival, and are letting the public in on what they’ll have to sip on and sample at one of the region’s best-attended winter events.
The lineup for the Valentine’s Day event at Steele Indian School Park in Phoenix is tapping into a bigger, badder and broader range of craft beers than ever before, with more than 400 brews on tap from more than 140 of the state and country’s best and most beloved craft breweries. Plus, we’ll have plenty of gourmet food available for purchase to help soak up those suds from food trucks like The Bullet, The Traveling Monk and Mother Bunch Brewery.
This year’s festival will boast a variety of rare and collabrews, and promises the return of the “Text for Tappings” feature, where guests can simply text STRONG BEER to 555888 to be among the first to receive alerts about special tappings taking place throughout the festival.
Without further ado, click here to access a downloadable list of what’s on tap for the 15th annual Arizona Strong Beer Festival. VIP passes are sold out, but you can still score General Admission and Designated Driver passes at Strongbeerfest.com.
Bottoms up!
One of our Partners in Tucson, AZ @borderlandsbeer Myles Stone was interviewed and gave @MWCanning some mobile canning love. Thanks to Myles and the Borderlands team for all your help.
“Myles Stone was in his second year of medical school when he and Michael Mallozzi started Borderlands Brewing Co. in Tucson, Arizona with just $2,000. They both have full-time jobs besides the brewery, but they make it work. “Our secret,” says Myles, “Is to have wonderful people around us.”

When it comes to beer, the container it comes in holds a lot of sway — the debate between cans vs. bottles is an ongoing one, and totally subjective to each drinker. But have you ever wondered if there’s really a difference in taste?

“Delivery trucks could carry twice as many lightweight, stackable cans as bottles and distribute them much further”.
