The Crafty Team
The Craft Can Directory is made up of a bunch of beer lovers in the heart of Herefordshire. After many discussions over a few beers, the Craft Can Directory was launched in 2015 to provide a small selection craft beer to consumers across the UK. The Craft Can Directory was an idea to make freshly canned beer available to customers within the same week of canning at a price that couldn’t be beaten, we have since grown the concept to launch a beer membership club and a range of beer snacks and even merchandise. The creator, Andy became involved in the production of canned craft beer in 2012, his involvement delivered the UK’s smallest contract canning service. This unique service has allowed the brilliant and local smaller brewer to get their product into cans for the 1st time. It also assists some of the larger ones too.
Frequent requests to source the cans WeCan Solutions produced led him to formalised the process through what is now known as The Craft Can Directory. Our customers will be the only ones to take advantage of the largest selection of Craft Canned Beers, access to exclusive products, the quickest (and cheapest!) route to market all allowing for the best prices online. Over recent years Craft Beer production in the UK, if not globally has increased significantly. There are now nearly 1500 microbreweries in the UK alone producing varied and premium quality beers. In 2015 we have over 100 new brands and 2016 there will be many more.
