Ska to can True Blonde

Ska Brewing Co. will release True Blonde Ale (5.3 percent ABV, 39 IBUs) in cans on Friday, May 1.

Of course, May 1 is also International Workers' Day, so there you go.

Ska already cans its ESB and the new Modus Hoperandi IPA.

The brewery is having a party at 5 p.m. at its headquarters in Bodo Industrial Park. The Lawn Chair Kings, who are incidentally better than ever, will play.

True Blonde has been around forever. It was Ska's first beer, originally brewed for a competition in Telluride. It is now one of their staples.

Rumor has it the cans are bright yellow and super-fly.

  1. True Blonde is my bottled girlfriend. Love it. I think cans are greener than bottles, is this true soggy?

  2. No, not really. The bauxite for aluminum cans has to be mined, and mining is about the least environmentally friendly activity you could possibly do. It's well explained here:
