lots of the micro brewers are getting into cans. Kona brewing company has started canning some of their beers and i'm a fan. Whole foods has a pretty good selection.

I am in Blind Bay tonight! So what is the question? We don't can, but will put our beer in 22 oz bombers up against anybody's beer!

drinking beer out of can.... :monty
Keeping beer in a can is supposed to be better than bottles. No light gets through. Someone did a blind test with some beer bottle snobs a they found that the beer from cans tasted better.
It's sort of like the wine cork thing. Some people say that wine without a cork is cheap swill. But a screw cap is usually better for the wine.

Probably cheaper in NC because it came from their CA contract brewery.mgarr682":1j41bz10 said:
Technically, you shouldn't drink beer from a bottle, either. Beer is best experienced as the brewer intended by pouring into a room temperature glass, where the desired hop and malt aromas are released, and the beer is brought to the proper temperature to enhance the flavors.DuckDogTitus":1j41bz10 said:
Or if you're drinking the cheaper stuff, simiply attach a hose to the bottom of a funnel, place hose in mouth, elevate funnel, and fill with swill. Belch, blink, repeat. :beer
Beer in a can is fizzier because it is capped right after it is filled whereas bottles are filled and then bounced along the conveyor to the capping station. Or so they told me at the old Olympia Brewery in Tumwater years ago.
I used to like it fizzier. Anymore it doesn't matter because I am only having three or four of the things before I'm done for the night.
My beer of choice has been Michelob Ultra ever since the time years ago when Helen O Larry and I had our boats tied up at Doe Island and didn't want to give up our dock space to go get beer. We called Anita Marie Fred who was at Blakely Island and he came over with Lynn Marie Tim to deliver a six pack of it. I have preferred it ever since, probably more for sentimental reasons than taste.

In addition to the light issue cans have a much more robust seal than bottles. If the capper at the brewery isn't just right on their bottles this can lead to oxidation of the beer (short shelf life before it's skunked). This is an issue for many of the microbreweries using small scale, cheap bottling lines. Another reason i like cans is their durable construction, they don't shatter like glass. Also once empty they can be crushed reducing the "broken stowage" of your galley waste.
