Straub Brewing to Can Beer for First Time

The family-owned brewery based in St. Marys began putting its brew in 12-ounce cans for the first time on Monday.
Straub's beer is still bottled and put in kegs in St. Marys, but its beer is being canned at the High Falls Brewery in Rochester, N.Y.
Straub's sales and marketing manager, Joseph McMackin, says Straub's has seen its sales increase in Pennsylvania, especially among younger drinkers.
By packaging the been in 24-can packages, customers can take the beer with them to more activities.
St. Marys is about 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
