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 Trash Panda by Parallel 49 Brewing Company at King & DufferinMore murky than hazy. Flavour is a bit muddled at first, but some nice fruit notes - peach, pineapple, mango - come through as it opens up.
- Greg C. is drinking a Too Wound Down by Bell City Brewing Company at King & DufferinI question the Session IPA classification given the fairly low IBU, but this is still a more than acceptable pale ale.
- Greg C. is drinking a RoboHop Imperial IPA by Great Lakes BreweryA modern classic of the IIPA style, at least in Ontario. Strong malt base supporting a blast of citrus, pine & tropical fruit hops.
- Greg C. is drinking a CAMP-OUT PILS Unfiltered by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinThe Motueka hops are similar enough to Saaz to fit this excellent Pils, but also have a citrus zest character that adds a unique edge.
- Greg C. is drinking a Trappist Ale by Spencer Brewery at King & DufferinStrong fruit preserve notes - esp. pineapple & peach - that lean a bit sweeter than my preference, but still improved from early days.
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.
