. Typically, breweries pay for this beneficial service, but the coronavirus outbreak has caused at least one company to change its tune: Golden, Colorado-based Codi Manufacturing is currently offering up mobile canning for free to local breweries in need.
“It’s a stark reality,” Luke Smith, owner and founder of Coda Brewing—which is also in Golden and took Codi up on its offer—. “We’ve got 40 kegs in the cooler. What’re you going to do with all that? A restaurant can’t buy it, we can’t drink it all, although we’d try.” “They need to sell 99 percent or more behind their own bar. Since the bar is closed down, to-go sales are the only option,” Codi Manufacturing’s Andrew Ferguson explained to the news station. “If they’re going to get shut down for weeks or months, this is their last chance to generate a lot of revenue to hold everyone through these bad times.”
“The beer would go bad, it would spoil and we would go under,” Smith continued. “I probably wouldn’t make it unless him and his guys were here to can our beer…. Codi is going to save small mom and pop breweries that receive the majority of their sales over their bar by putting their beer in cans.”
