Oskar Blues and the Ball Corporation, the largest beverage can company in the world, have teamed to introduce the first beer packaged in a \u201cRoyal Pint\u201d (568-mL) can to the North American market. Oskar Blues will launch its signature brew, Dale\u2019s Pale Ale, in the supersized can today at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver.<\/p>\n

\u201c2012 marks the tenth anniversary of the debut of Dale\u2019s Pale Ale as the first craft beer available in recyclable aluminum cans in North America,\u201d said Chad Melis, marketing director for Oskar Blues Brewery. \u201cWe wanted to go big with our anniversary celebration and launching Dale\u2019s in Ball\u2019s new Royal Pint size is another first for Oskar Blues.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Dale\u2019s\u00a0Pale Ale Royal Pint will initially feature special edition graphics and will later be available with the same signature graphics as the Dale\u2019s Pale Ale 12-oz. aluminum can. Ball is the only can manufacturer in North America to make the Royal Pint, which is approximately the height of a 24-oz. can and the diameter of a 16-oz. can. Oskar Blues is the first brewer in North America \u2013 craft or otherwise \u2013 to package beer in the unique, sleek-looking can.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 568-mL can offers our North American customers a new option to differentiate their brands and appeal to consumers,\u201d said Robert M. Miles, senior vice president, sales, for Ball\u2019s metal beverage packaging division, Americas. \u201cCan size is an important element of branding and it is fitting that Oskar Blues is commemorating this special anniversary in a can size that is new to North America.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As with all Ball aluminum beverage cans and aluminum bottles, the 568mL can contains the highest percent of recycled content on average of any beverage package, chills quickly, is stackable and 100 percent recyclable.<\/p>\n
