You Might Not Want to Read This But You Should: North Country Wins Best Can Design

Known for their creative beers and different dishes, North Country Brewing now has won a recognition for artistic reasons.

Competing against a field that included four other cans of beers including Sam Adams and Magic Hat, North Country Brewing's Buck Snort Stout was named the best can design in the United States by Brewery Collectable Club of America.

Owner Bob McCafferty raises a glass of Buck Snort Stout.

Along with the Buck Snort Stout, there are multiple other beers
to be sent out to numerous distributors in Ohio, West Virginia, and Florida

The BCCA has its headquarters in Mizzouri and has an annual poll in which its members vote on the best can design on an online poll.

Owner of North Country Brewing, Bob McCafferty said this win was a testament to his crew's work and all-around team effort.

North Country Brewing has been on the corner of Main Street in Slippery Rock since Februrary 2005.

The photos shown, though, were not taken at the restaurant, but rather the North Country Cannery.

McCafferty purchased this space two years ago, in October 2013 as a way to bring the beer to the people.

"With all the alumns of Slippery Rock scattered everywhere, people want to drink the beer they partied with in college," McCafferty said.

North Country was also in the process of brewing their annual Late Night Pumpkin Ale during my trip.

The kettles house over 10 different brews of beer, including
the Buck Snort, as well as the timely Late Night Pumpkin Ale

McCafferty said their pumpkin beer its a little different than their competitors because they use the actual meat from the pumpkin.

"You could make a pie out of this stuff," McCafferty said.

The crew settled in to celebrate the win for North Country and of course, have a beer.
