 In 1935 Felinfoel became the first brewery in the UK (and one of the first breweries in Europe) to produce beer in cans.It managed to stop the beer reacting with the metal by coating the inside of the cans with wax, unlike the Gottfried Krueger Brewing Company in the USA, who had to create a new pasteurised drink to get around the problem when they produced the world's first canned beer earlier the same year.Felinfoel were spurred into action when the "Western Mail" announced rival brewery Buckley's was investigating canned beer.
