We finally did it, and we're happy to say we did it right.
We've been asked for years if we were going to produce cold coffee in a can, and our answer has always been "maybe". What's held us back has been our own lack of enthusiasm with the format of canned cold brew, and a feeling that we weren't sure how to do it better.
It was clear to us that the trick to doing it better was to do something different, which brings us to this announcement. Introducing Snapchilled™ Coffee, delicious cold coffee in a can that's not cold brew. Produced in partnership with Elemental Beverage Co. using their proprietary Snapchill™ process.
METHOD
Snapchilled™ coffee is brewed hot to release the complex flavors and aromas that cold brew leaves behind, and chilled in seconds to lock those flavors into the beverage. It is then immediately packaged after brewing in nitrogen-flushed and pressurized cans to halt oxidation and aging, problems that plague most canned cold brews.
RESULT
The result is a cold coffee that leaves nothing to the imagination, capturing and delivering all of the complexity, sweetness, and unique flavors that each of our coffees has to offer. This is cold coffee like you've never had before.

Our Snapchilled™ cans are available in three offerings:
BRIGHT features a light, bright, and refreshing profile with juicy, fruity, or floral notes.
SWEET highlights roundness, sweetness, and balance with deeper fruit and chocolate flavors.
NITRO has an extra boost of nitrogen in the can to give a frothy head when shaken and poured into a glass, along with the deepest and most robust flavor profile of the cans.
