Hood River, OR – January 2026
Double Mountain Brewery & Cidery is excited to announce that Hop Lion IPA, Dry Cider, and a new upcoming Czech-style Pilsner will be available in 12-ounce six-packs of shiny, lightweight, adventure-ready recyclable aluminum cans for the first time ever. These cans will be sold at local grocery stores and all Double Mountain locations. Hop Lion IPA and Dry Cider will be available beginning Friday, January 30, with the Czech-style Pilsner following in March.
For the past decade, Double Mountain intentionally resisted canning its beers and ciders while focusing on what it believes is the most earth-friendly package available: the refillable glass bottle. That commitment remains unchanged. Refillables are still at the core of Double Mountain’s identity, and the brewery will continue bottling beer and cider in refillable glass.
At the same time, Double Mountain recognizes that many customers and retailers want their beer and cider in cans, especially for outdoor adventures and places where glass simply isn’t the most practical option. The brewery is embracing that reality and is excited to finally offer a format that customers and retailers have been asking for over many years. It’s a long-anticipated step, and one the brewery is thrilled to finally take.
“For a long time, refillable glass has been the best expression of who we are as a brewery, and that hasn’t changed,” says Matt Swihart, Owner and Brewmaster. “At the same time, we’ve heard our customers loud and clear. Offering Hop Lion, Dry Cider, and Pilsner in cans allows people to take Double Mountain with them into more places, and we’re excited to finally make that happen.”
