Upper Hand Brewery Switches From Bottles to Cans, Updates Look

Upper Hand Brewery has announced it will switch from using bottles to cans, and will update its packaging. For more, see below:


ESCANABA, Mich. – Upper Hand Brewery is excited to announce packaging changes from twelve-ounce bottles to twelve-ounce cans beginning in Spring 2018. The cans, packaged in six-packs and specialty four-packs, will feature a new look that pays homage to the original labels, while establishing a stronger tie to their Upper Peninsula roots.

The switch will also come with changes to Upper Hand’s year-round beer portfolio. An all-malt light lager, dubbed Upper Hand Light, will join the year-round brands upon their release scheduled for March. Upper Hand will release its first IPA in Summer 2018. The IPA, with a name to be determined, will join the four aforementioned brands in year-round production.
