Ardagh Glass Packaging Unveils New Heritage Beer Bottles

In the ever-evolving landscape of craft beverage packaging, Ardagh Glass Packaging-North America (AGP-North America) has announced an exciting expansion to its Heritage glass beer bottle collection. This move not only enhances the company's offerings but also aims to support craft brewers looking for distinctive and sustainable packaging options.

New Additions to the Heritage Collection

On January 8, 2025, AGP-North America revealed two innovative designs for its popular 12-ounce Heritage bottles. The new selections include bottles made of flint (clear) glass featuring a traditional pry-off closure, as well as amber (brown) glass bottles equipped with a convenient twist-off closure. These new additions reflect AGP's commitment to combining nostalgia with modern practicality, ensuring that brewers can maintain a connection to the craft beer tradition while benefiting from contemporary features.

Enhancing Brand Differentiation

Rashmi Markan, Chief Commercial Officer for AGP-North America, stated, "Ardagh Glass Packaging continues to design and manufacture distinctive glass packaging that delivers brand differentiation for craft brewers and beverage producers." The 12oz Heritage bottles are designed not just for aesthetic appeal but also provide a wider label area. This feature grants producers greater flexibility in branding and allows them to showcase unique designs in a container that is shorter and lighter than traditional long-neck bottles.

Sustainable and American-Made

The expansion of the Heritage bottle lineup aligns with Ardagh's mission of sustainability. As a leader in providing sustainable and infinitely recyclable glass packaging solutions, Ardagh Glass Packaging emphasizes the importance of environmentally responsible practices in the beverage industry. Their extensive collection of glass beer bottles, produced in the USA, caters to a variety of styles, colors, and finishes, ensuring that every beverage brand has a suitable packaging option that enhances its identity.

For craft beverage producers interested in adding these new vessels to their packaging lineup, Ardagh offers bottles for purchase in both less than truckload (LTL) and truckload quantities. Interested customers can contact AGP directly at 636.299.5495 or via email at [email protected].
