10" Aluminum Can Tacker - The Workhorse SKU for Brewery Walls
Custom aluminum can tacker shaped like a traditional 12 oz can. This is the size your customers already buy, scaled up onto the wall. If you only run one tacker SKU, run this one. It moves the most volume in our catalog and pulls double duty across beer, THC, cider, hard seltzer, and ready-to-drink brands.
Made in Birmingham, AL by Steel City Tap Co. Customers like Duvel, Dos Equis, Tecate, and Good People Brewing run their flagship cans on these.

Who This SKU Is For
Craft Breweries
Build a tap wall that pulls eyes the moment somebody walks into your taproom. The 10" footprint reads at retail distance without dominating the room. Works for flagship cans, seasonals, and limited releases on the same wall.
Bars, Restaurants, and Bottle Shops
End caps, cooler rails, and beer cave walls. Customers see the can on the shelf, then see the same can on the tacker above the cooler. Brand recognition compounds.
Distributor Merch Racks
Programs from Brew Hub, Reyes Beverage Group, Great Southern Beverages, and similar can run this SKU as their default for portfolio brands. Mix multiple brewery designs in one production lot.

Why Aluminum Beats the Alternatives
Tin tackers wear well. Aluminum is durable, lightweight, and holds color for years. The embossed border gives the sign a finished retail look without the cost of die-cut steel. Customers we have sold to in 2024 and 2025 are still running first-run pieces in their taprooms.
