Just a year and a half after Barnstormer Brewing Company opened in Barrie, the beermaker is expanding its sales to retail outlets.

New cans of Billy Bishop Brown, F-Bomb! Blonde and Flight Delay India Pale Ale will hit Beer Store and LCBO shelves this summer.

“We already have bottles of the same brands and growler fills as well. The cans are a new packaging style to allow us better distribution,” owner Dustin Norlund said.

The craft beer industry is trending to cans — although larger specialty beers seem to be a better sell in bottles, he said.
