Argus Cidery chooses Ardagh to package its craft cider

Argus Cidery has partnered with Ardagh to package its Ciderkin and Ginger Perry craft cider in 12oz beverage cans.

Jeff Mickel, owner of Argus Cidery, said the Argus Cidery team chose Ardagh beverage cans to efficiently reach outlying markets and, ultimately, enable consumers to enjoy these craft ciders outdoors, in parks, on golf courses, at the beach, where canned beverages are welcomed.

“Lightweight cans enable us to ship efficiently, nationally and minimise our carbon footprint. It’s just the beginning. We’re excited about spreading our distribution reach and enabling consumers across the country to enjoy our products,” he commented.

Claude Marbach, CEO, Ardagh Metal, North America Beverage, added: “We’re very pleased to partner with the Argus Cidery team in supporting them with high quality beverage cans that preserve the integrity of the taste profile they work so hard to create,” he said. “We remain excited about the further growth potential in craft cider as more variety is brought to retail and beverage cans are chosen as a means to efficiently reach new markets.”

Argus Cidery products are now available in New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Illinois, Colorado, Michigan and Washington. And early this year, the products will be available in Tennessee, California and Oregon.
