KELOWNA, BC – Tree Brewing has become the first brewery in Western Canada to release their beer in 500 ml cans.
Starting this week, single cans of Thirsty Beaver Amber Ale and Kelowna Pilsner will be available across British Columbia and Alberta, with 4-packs to follow this summer.
Tree is also supporting their community in this intiative by teaming up with other local businesses to bring the cans to market. Local graphic designer Mark McCann created the package design, and Bullseye Packaging is providing the shrink wrapping for the upcoming 4-packs.

- Greg C. is drinking a Darcys Poolside Grapefruit Lager Collaboration by Big Rock Brewery at King & DufferinQuaffable, crisp & balanced lager with subtle grapefruit notes playing nicely with the hops. A touch light on the palate, but that’s minor.
- Greg C. is drinking a Spruce Tip Pale by Big Rock Brewery at Liberty Commons at Big Rock BreweryLate entry - had it with lunch earlier today. Prominent spruce notes that are well balanced with the clean & moderately hopped pale ale.
- Greg C. is drinking a Space Invader by Amsterdam Brewing Company (Canada) at The GarrisonLate check-in from the other night. Great beer as always. Amused when the wrapper peeled off & it was a Radler can underneath.
- Greg C. is drinking a Pilsner by Mill Street Brewery at Mill St. Brew PubPerfectly acceptable Pils. Front end sweetness lingers a bit too long, but hops eventually cut through for a good herbal finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Wizard Wolf (Mosaic) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinMostly wipes the memory of the awful Simcoe/Mosaic version. Less hazy, more carbonation, and better balance. This is more like it.
I hope this goes well for Tree so that we might see some Hop Head or Cutthroat in the tall cans some time in the future.
