Signature Carolina Blonde Beer Goes Portable Just in Time for Fall Tailgating Season

Just in time for the kick-off of NFL and college football tailgating season, the company is "popping the top" on a new way to enjoy this taste of the Carolinas.

08/09/06 For nearly a decade, craft beer lovers in the Carolinas have been enjoying the home brewed taste of Carolina Blonde ale at bars, local restaurants, or picked-up at their neighborhood supermarket to enjoy at home. But now, just in time for the kick-off of NFL and college football tailgating season, the company is "popping the top" on a new way to enjoy this taste of the Carolinas -- in a virtually indestructible, sleek, tall and definitely striking Carolina Blonde can.

"It's not only great looking, it's easy to load up for tailgating, chills quickly in your cooler, won't break, and the technology ensures you're getting the freshest taste whenever and wherever you 'pop the top'," said John Stritch, president of Carolina Beer and Beverage, maker of Carolina Blonde.
 
The cans don't look like your ordinary beer can. They are taller, thinner, boldly-emblazoned in black and gold with the brand's signature lighthouse, but still hold a full 12 ounces of the golden ale, the same as other bottled or canned beers.

"What's great about the sleek can is that it allows us to tunnel pasteurize the beer," says Stritch. "The result is you're always getting the freshest beer, guaranteed to have no impurities or oxidation."

In addition, the sleek Carolina Blonde can eliminates damage done by ultraviolet rays better than traditional brown glass bottles. And, you can feel good about the new can package since it's 100 percent recyclable.

Look for the new Carolina Blonde sleek cans available in case packs at area supermarkets. Enjoy Carolina Blonde on draft and the company's other tasty brews at numerous Carolina restaurants and look for their booths on levels one and five at Bank of America stadium.
