That's pretty cool.... unfortunately it will probably be one of those things that doesn't hit the main stream 'cos of the bean counters at the big players.

should make them edible for humans.

Make them out of jerky.. 6-packs could be snack packs.

Remember those edible cups for holding chips ? Tasted better than the chips.

 

[spog]

Nice hat.

 

[Seaquebrew]

Good move, the plastic rings are fucked and so are the people who leave them around

I remember a time when cartons of cans didn't require needless, harmful and wasteful packaging

End rant

Cheers

Great progress.

I do wonder though how they hold up when wet, such as after being removed from cold fridge and subsequent condensation.

I just think it's bloody awesome that they're made from spent grain.... how do you even concieve the idea to make a structural component from waste grains??? Genius.

Now they just need to make cans from hop bines and we can have a product that is completely organic (as in the actual meaning of the word "was once living" not the bastardised meaning marketing execs came up with)
