Northstar Canning takes the pouring part out
2 Apr 2019
If you need a mortgage and canning equipment, Doug Cassady knows just the right guy.
The owner of Northstar Mobile Canning in St. Michael still works in the mortgage business, as he has for 25 years, but a couple years ago, Cassady seriously branched out to take on the world of mobile canning.
And what does that world exactly entail? “We put adult carbonated beverages into extruded aluminum vessels for rapid distribution and resale,” Cassady said. “Ok we really just can beer, but that doesn’t sound as swanky!”
While beer accounts for the majority of his business, Northstar does can other drinks including soda, cider, kombucha and coffee. He even cans wine.
