Bigger taste in a smaller bottle – New 33cl bottles launched

Many of Spitfire’s consumers are women who prefer a smaller serving of beer, which goes hand in hand with the markets increasing demand for smaller packaging. The switch from 50cl to 33cl bottles was made at the Systembolaget in April of 2011 and now we’re doing the same in the supermarkets!
