Their cans now feature a larger size, increasing from 330ml to 440ml, offering more value for money. The new design aims to tell the story of Cold Town Beer, with the brand name originating from Carlton or ‘Cauld Toon’ in Edinburgh, where the first lager in Britain was brewed in 1835.
A Fresh Identity
According to Louise MacLean, Business Development for Cold Town Beer, “Our new look embodies Cold Town Beer’s unwavering dedication to craft, innovation, and community. We’ve been speaking to beer fans across the country, and they want to know more about who is brewing the beer and what the beer itself is like—without gimmicks. Our new visually unified look puts our story and personality at the forefront. This isn’t just a makeover; it’s a bold declaration of who we are and what we stand for.”
