In a trend that spans continents, brewers in both the United States and the European Union have been installing new canning lines for their beers, complementing their traditional bottling lines. This strategy responds to the growing demand for canned beers and the advantages offered by this format.

Canning lines allow breweries to speed up production and improve product preservation. The cans are lighter and easier to transport, which reduces logistics costs. They also offer better protection against light and oxygen, which helps maintain the freshness and quality of the beer.

This investment in canning technology positions brewers on both sides of the Atlantic to expand into other markets. As regulations evolve and new trade opportunities open up, interstate trade in beers is becoming increasingly feasible.
