However, German brewery, Beck’s, wants to change this “undesirable” image/perception and it is starting with a special edition Beck’s canned beer that bears the shape of an elegant champagne glass called Le Beck’s. Snazzy.
Obviously, the complex-than-your-run-of-the-mill-can is more difficult to manufacture and more costly, and hence, when it was first introduced back in March, it was a special limited edition beverage that was served at exclusive events. Then, the beer lovers responded positively. Beck’s felt encourage and it is now considering to mass produce. Who knows? This might set a new standard for beer packaging. Or maybe not. Beck’s has called upon German advertising company Serviceplan Group to help the beer maker to realize its bold vision of making its beer classy.
The result is a classy can in the shape of champagne flute in brushed aluminum finish, ornamented with branding and graphics created through precision laser and analog engraving.

In fact, a regular beer can top, compete with pull ring and all, is what makes the Le Beck’s fun.
