Not Quiet on the Northern Front

I've tried my best to be up-to-date on the local breweries finally getting some beer on the market in cans. The best part about the breweries that have started to do it in this area were ones that mostly only had draft selections. Rivertowne did have a small bottling operation going at one point, but for whatever reason there was just only three beer selections available at distributors in bottles. At least that's all I noticed over time.

According to Craft Pittsburgh, one of the breweries that gave me one of my first craft beer experiences (North Country Brewing Company in Slippery Rock, Pa.) is nearing the completion of its canning project. It's looking as if things are ready to roll.

Look for @ncbrewingco beer out in the market in a few weeks from @beersince1933.

From my own recollection, North Country should be putting out three of it's original beer lineup. This should include station 33 Firehouse Red, Buck Snort Stout and Paleo IPA. Also, there should be cans of Slimey Pebble Pils, which I've never come across during my trips to Slippery Rock.

I dream of one day coming across some cans of the famous fruit beer rotation North Country always does (otherwise known as "The Fruit Bowl"). Some Blue Bear-E, Cherry Garcia and Strawberry Fields Forever would hit the spot.
