The beer aisle in Des Moines grocery stores is about to look a lot more local.
Three central Iowa breweries are adding canning lines in the coming months, a move that will allow them to put their beer on shelves and in coolers around the region.
- Firetrucker Brewery in Ankeny recently installed a canning line and plans to release cans of Brigade Ale and Burnout Brown starting Sept. 27.
- Confluence Brewing Co. plans to install a canning line as part of a larger expansion of its brewery on the south side of Des Moines. Cans of Des Moines IPA and Farmer John’s Multi-grain Ale should be available by the start of 2017.
- Exile Brewing Co. is adding a canning line as part of an expansion that will more than triple the downtown brewery’s capacity. Exile plans to start producing 12- and 16-ounce cans of Hannah, a Bavarian wheat; Ruthie, a gold lager; and some seasonal beers next spring when the expansion is complete.
