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 Kickin' Back by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinNew version is still on the thin side but has better flavour & more prominent hops. Notes of orange blossom & citrus peel. Refreshing.
- Greg C. is drinking an Infinite Offering by Kensington Brewing Company at Kensington Brewing CompanySubtle smoke. Juniper & white pepper & lemongrass. Back-of-throat dryness that encourages another swig. Complex but quaffable. Very good.
- Greg C. is drinking a Sour IPA W/ Lactose by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinDon’t usually like lactose in pale ales but this one works. Not too sweet or milky, soft body, great balance of tart pineapple & citrus.
- Greg C. is drinking a Mad & Noisy Orange Pale Ale by Creemore Springs at King & DufferinCall a beer Orange Pale Ale & I expect a good hit of orange, not a faint hint in a malt-forward pale ale. Not bad, but worse - it’s boring.
- Greg C. is drinking a Food Truck Beer by Henderson Brewing Co at King & DufferinA malty and relatively sweet ale that is easy to drink and causes no offense. Not really my bag, but perfectly fine for what it is.
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.
