Craft brewer Eight Ball Brewing is canning its beer for the first time ever, and Greater Cincinnati beer lovers will soon be able to get their hands on it.
Bellevue-based Eight Ball is canning its Prodigal American Pale Ale starting Monday and releasing it in a can launch celebration in its Newport taproom adjacent to the Party Source on July 21. The brewery has hand-bottled beer in the past, but this is the first time it has released cans.

"Simply put, cans mean better, fresher beer in the hands of more beer drinkers."
