Heineken rolls out 'keg' can

Appearing on store shelves across the U.S. beginning in April is a promotional can from Heineken USA, White Plains, NY, in the shape of a keg. The can, first tested in the New York area late last year, is made in Europe by Crown Cork & Seal (Philadelphia, PA).

The cans are reportedly "blow-molded" using technology from Sidel (Norcross, GA), but this couldn't be confirmed at press time.

Heineken wouldn't comment on economics or pricing, except to acknowledge that the 12-oz keg can does contain more aluminum than the brewer's standard 12-oz can.

The promotion is expected to last through the summer selling season, ending around August.
