It seems Germans have had problems in cities like Düsseldorf from broken glass from bottles dumped by partygoers,. So Düsseldorf’s Füchschen brewery recently launched in 33-cL aluminum cans for the start of their carnival season. Check out the striking black aluminum cans. Not exactly carnival colors, if you ask me. I don’t think they’d win […]
With the plethora of new aluminum beer bottles, you’d think the beer industry in the USA is growing. It actually isn’t. At least, not the industry as a whole. In fact, 2011 marks the third straight year of declines in total beer sales in the USA. Total beer volume in the USA actually dropped 1.3% […]
Finally, I’ve come across an aluminum beer bottle that is actually decorated with a beer color. I’ve complained in previous posts about aluminum bottles that use blue and other colors that don’t remind one of beverages, let alone beer. Well, the Cold Spring Craft Beers people have launched a resealable aluminum beer bottle that uses […]
Here’s an intriguing video that shows how relatively mature products have found a way to squeeze a little more sales growth using innovative packaging such as aluminum bottles. Rosemarie Downey, who is the packaging research manager at Euromonitor International, talks about how the use of aluminum bottles has been instrumental in driving what she calls […]
I’m proud to say that when it comes to environmental consciousness and sustainability, aluminumbottles.com, aka Elemental Container, practices what it preaches. We recently installed solar panels on the roof of the Elemental Container building in Union, NJ. Take a look at the neat pictures below. Click on the pictures to get a blow-up view. BTW […]
Some people have wine refrigerators. But this aluminum beer bottle froster is my kind of product. The Summit Cold Cavern beer froster stores your beer bottles at 24 degrees F, just below freezing, so you get the coldest beer possible. This beer froster supposedly holds 120 aluminum beer bottles! You can keep the beer at […]
There’s an excellent article in the Aluminum Association about the benefits of “downweighting”. I guess “downweighting” is now part of our lexicon, just like “downsizing”. In another Aluminum Association article, an aluminum industry executive is quoted as saying “A transition to strong, affordable and carbon-reducing aluminum already is underway, which will enable cars and trucks […]
You can now get a proper pint of Coors Light. Coors just launched its new one-pint aluminum beer bottle. That’s a full 4 oz. or 33% more than the usual 12 oz bottle. Personally, I prefer the smaller “pony” bottle which is about 5 oz. With the regular 12 oz bottle, the beer gets warm […]
I wanted to devote this post to our 1-gallon seamless aluminum bottle. Industrial aluminum bottles get very little attention but they play a huge, unheralded role in the storage and transport of the materials that are at the heart of end products like perfumes, vitamins, etc. The seamless aluminum bottle is an ideal alternative to […]
This is my second post on aluminum beer bottles in as many days. The new “Coors Lite Iced T” is billed as a “Coors Light with a refreshing taste of iced tea”. Apparently, Coors sales have suffered more than a little from the rising popularity of wine and spirits. So I guess they decided to […]
