Jumbo shrimp?

Hey everyone,

All About Beer posted part of a press release from the Ball Corporation, who leads the American market in aluminum can manufacturing. Ball is coming out with an 8 oz. can, that they say can run on existing packaging lines!

AAB posed the question if the new size will be adopted by the brewing industry. I would think it to be a very good size vessel for housing some high-gravity beer. Think about it, you won't have to feel bad opening a can and getting two servings out of it; instead of opening a 12 oz. can, trying to find some folks to share it with or let the remainder go to waste, you can enjoy the smaller form factor without getting blotto.

Here's a link to AAB's original post.

Cheers!
