Luxembourg-based producer of glass containers for food and beverage sector Ardagh Group has designed a beer bottle for O'Fallon Brewery.
The company’s North American glass division has created the design for the beverage producer at its manufacturing facility in Pevely, Missouri.
Ardagh Group North American Glass division craft beer sales vice-president John Orr said: "Craft brewers are increasingly focusing on innovations in package design, and the new bottle from O’Fallon Brewery is the perfect example of this advancement."
"Ardagh Group appreciates O’Fallon’s commitment to sustainable packaging, while utilizing a bottle design to influence craft beer drinkers and build on the foundation of a great beer brand."
The traditional-style classic long-neck bottle, which has been made for O’Fallon’s ‘Everyday Beers’ and ‘Seasonal Beers,’ sports O’Fallon’s signature ‘O’ and ‘We Love Beer’ slogan on its neck.
Ardagh claimed that the bottle will offer a unique brand differentiation for O’Fallon, which is the second-largest craft brewery in the St. Louis area.
O’Fallon Brewery president & CEO Jim Gorczyca said: "When possible, O’Fallon does its best to source ingredients and packaging material locally, and Ardagh Group was the perfect choice.
"Consumers want to know that when they choose hand-crafted, locally produced beer that their purchase supports the local economy."
Ardagh Group offers glass and metal packaging services to food, beverage and consumer care sectors, back by its 89 facilities across 21 countries.
