I am building a mobile canning system to help smaller breweries reach the many fans that deserve a chance to enjoy their amazing brew

Please dont laugh at the video I cannot explain the amout of nervousness I had when shooting it. I'm usually the guy on the other side. But thank you for taking the time to watch.

About 8 months I started looking into a project. One that I felt could really help small breweries bring their product to the people a lot easier. I want to put a full canning system into the back of a 40 trailer. This trailer is complete with  a rinse machine, a filler (for the beer), a capper/seamer (to seal the beer in), a rinse and dryer, a labler, and finially a 6 packer. Now that your all sitting there nodding your heads thinking oh hell yeah your probly wondering what qualifies me to do this. Well for the past 6 years I have worked for the worlds largest producer of aluminum beverage containers, and for the last 8 or so years I have been a craft beer drinker. So with my background in machinery and production combined with my love for craft beer I bring to you Canned Craft Beer. 100% of the donations go towards the purchase of the machinery. I already have more then a dozen breweries ready for me to can their beer, so as soon as I am complete in the build we will be traveling and canning. So please if  you will help me so I can turn around and get some amazing beer into the hands of people you really enjoy quality brew.

Some great facts about Canned Beer

They don't break like glass, they are more colorful, they got cold faster, they are modern and 100% recyclable . Some of the appeal is their compact shape, a handful of happiness, a Hop grenade.

Bottling a beer has two greatest enemies: beer freshness is destroyed by light, which turns beer skunky, and air, which oxidizes beer and makes it stale. The can beats the bottle hands-down on the light problem. The canning process also limits the amount of air in the package, leaving less than all but the most expensively coddled bottle. If you're feeling environmental, aluminum cans are cheaper to recycle than glass bottles, and the lighter can uses less fuel to transport.

Their are now more then 550 different craft U.S. beers in cans. More then 60 of those have entered the market since January 1st, 2012. This is a perfect time to to make even more craft cans.

Lastly being  mobile allows me to quickly reach destinations, so if we were to be hit by a devastating act of mother nature, we would be able to supply cans quickly filled with drinking water that will be 100% donated to needy in a time of tragedy.

So please if you will help us in taking the next step and making the mobile canning line a reality.

And lastly a special thanks to my buddy Adam for shooting the video for me
