"We thought we’d be foolish not to investigate all the options, but at the end of the day Cask addressed everything we needed and they were great partners throughout. From the start they were wonderful to work with - very helpful and motivated to help us achieve the absolute best we could. Seaming is great on the new machines - it’s a bulletproof seamer. With the level-sensing filling, you get really consistent fills all day long, and here we are eight years into it and it still works like a charm."

As craft brewers, we have to be open-minded to what customers want. Hard Seltzers and cocktails allow us to engage with a broader audience while freeing up resources to innovate in other areas of our business. Our packaging operators love the days we package seltzer. It is straightforward, there’s no waste, and it’s smooth running. The Cask system controls higher carbonation very well and lets us experiment with our parameters.

"We started at ground zero. We heavily relied on Cask to create a beverage production process from setting up tanks through to the canning system. The canning system has been producing cans since the minute it was commissioned and is very plug-and-play. Within 6 hours of setting up and training our guys were running it by themselves."

"We did extensive research on canning equipment manufacturers and we felt the Cask machines were the best for our needs and our demanding quality standards." Lone Tree’s canned beers took off in the early days, and they upgraded from their early SAMS (15 cpm) system into an ACS V4 (35 cpm) quickly. Now they have upgraded with their third Cask system, installing their ACS V6 (50 cpm) for adding speed and automation.
