No matter if it’s in brew pubs, restaurants or the shelves in the supermarkets, you couldn’t imagine the North American beer market without craft beer. But craft and creativity don’t just apply to beer. What are known as adult alternative beverages are increasing in popularity – not least among brewers. The addition of a wide range of additives, however, means that innovative alcoholic beverages make particular demands on the production facilities of their producers.
Whether you have a small operation just starting out or a large, well-established brewing operation, you are in good hands with the House of Krones. For the North American market, Krones together with its subsidiary W.M. Sprinkman has positioned itself in a way that we have the ideal solutions for beer production, can filling and labeling, and of course for craft brewers as well.
It is not only the number of beer styles that is constantly rising: adult alternative beverages are continuing to expand the bandwidth of creative drinks. Our portfolio includes process technology solutions that get the very best out of every beverage. For that reason, the House of Krones is offering solutions for those brewers who do not want to make compromises on quality despite the smaller production volumes.
With the highest recycling rate of any beverage packaging, paired with the increasing aesthetic popularity, the aluminum can has become the preferred packaging choice of craft wine and beer consumers. That’s why Krones has specifically designed a can labeler for self-adhesive labeling for the North American craft beer market.
Compact and highly accurate, the Krones Autocol Inline is the ideal labeling solution for today’s brewers needing flexibility at a low cost. It eliminates potential obsolesces of preprinted lithographic cans and allows for quick change-over as desired. Limited edition looks and frequently fresh designs can be easily achieved with the Autocol Inline

In 2019, Xavier Vanhonsebrouck took a decision that emphasised his entrepreneurial boldness: for the first time, its brewery Kasteel Brouwerij Vanhonsebrouck began to fill its tradition-steeped beers in cans – something totally new on Belgium’s specialty beer market. For this purpose, the brewery invested in a compactly dimensioned line from Krones.
