The ball company, headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado is responsible for the production of about a third of the aluminum cans in the world. A 2016Denver Post Article on the company believed that theyproduces about 6 million cabetes per day.

But during a gains call in February, the president of the companyDaniel Fisher said, "We seeRequest continues to exceed supply Well in 2023, "meaning it is unlikely that aluminum can improve production will improve at any time.

"We are a constraint right now", "CEO of the ballJohn Hayes said on the same call. "The reality is that we do not have canvas to provide these people looking to go."

The company is looking to add three new plants to produce 6 billion more cans in the coming years.

But Colorado's smaller breweries, which depend on the ball, say that their orders have been hit on the back of the list for massive orders of major beer suppliers.

"Your bigger producers, your big national breweries have first reason for a lot of (the cans), and unless you control a sufficient amount of the ball, you have a type of rear of the listing"Charles Talbott, Head of Operations of the Talbott Cider Company in Palisade, Colorado, saidThe Colorado Sun.

And during the pandemic, breweries also swiveled kegs to bottles and cans to serve a consumer consumption market at home, thus putting canned companies in a position where the offer could not follow the request.

"It's not necessarily a beer can a shortage more than an increase in cans demand"David Thibodeau, president and co-founder of Ska Brewing Co., saidDurango Herald. "All this happened at the same time, people stored their pants. It was like the scarcity of toilet paper."

Steve FindleyThe Executive Director of Colorado Beer Distributors Association, said many major brands also feel the crunch of the box. "My members wear all the big brands-Miller, Molson Coors, the imports of Anheuser Busch, as well as crafts - and we see a lot of stocks recently," he saidColorado Sun.

Now, many smaller brewers have been forced to adjust their production deadlines,Patrick Jose, Head Brewer at Carver Brewing Co., saysDurango Herald.

"Whenever we want to have something, we hear:" We can take advantage of you, but it's going to take about eight weeks, "he said.

"Every time you leave something to sit during that long, you ... may have problems," Talbott said his cider stored in the tank, who forced him to choose the latter.

Now, the cans of the cider company come from an international supplier instead of a household house and they are wrapped in hand in a waterproof label, which doubles the cost. To do this, Talbott and many other Colorado brewers had to increase the price of their products.
