Boulevard Brewing Company has announced that it is breaking ground on a $10 million expansion that will include a canning line for its beers.The 24,000 square foot single-story building will house a canning line designed to fill 350 12-ounce cans per minute."Demand for our canned beers has continued to grow since we first offered them in 2014," said Boulevard brewmaster Steven Pauwels. "Ten years ago it was uncommon to find craft beer in cans, but today it's a popular package. We're happy to oblige because cans completely block light, they're lighter than bottles so easier to transport, and they can go almost anywhere."Engineers for the project say they hope to have the canning line up and running by the first quarter of 2018.For news updates on the go, download the KMBC 9 News app.
