THE NOMADS OF CRAFT BREWING

During the darkest days of the pandemic, North Coast craft breweries had to close their taprooms and brewpubs. 

   It was a huge economic blow, but the businesses survived in part by pivoting almost entirely from draft to canned beer either sold “to go” or through distributors. 

   There was a problem, however. Most smaller breweries lacked canning lines. 

   More than ever, they needed the services of the nomads of the industry: mobile canners.
