The Durham Herald Sun reports that Triangle Brewing will begin shipping their cans this week to Whole Foods, Weaver Street Market and Sam’s Quik Shop in Durham at first.
Friday morning at Triangle Brewing Company, Rick Tufts, Andy Miller and Luke Studer — who are, respectively, the co-owners and sole employee of the company — were gearing up for a long weekend. A visitor to the company’s brewing facility on Pearl Street could see the remnants of a wood crate that had recently housed the brewery’s new canning machine.
Tufts, Miller, Studer and an assistant were using a forklift and pallet jacks to move the machine into their space. This weekend, they were planning to put the first samples of their locally produced craft brew into cans — at the rate of 70 cases an hour, Tufts said. The assembly line will be the first automated canning operation for a craft brewer in North Carolina, he said.
