I've seen this play out before when I was younger...

Any of y'all ever go to dinner w/ your family and family friends?? Did you happen to watch the little dance between Dads of who's gonna pick up the check??

One will whisper to the waitress, "make sure you bring the check to me" right after they order...

The other will ask the waitress to bring it to him when the meal is over..

"I got it"...

"no, no, no...I got it"....

It's funny......and it's true. Anyway, this reminded me of that....so thought I'd share...LOL

There are quite a few reputable breweries putting stuff out in cans it seems. First one I loved was the Maui Brewing Coconut Porter....as I recall, a favorite of Tjs as well....right Tj?

I just had an Oskar Blues Ten Fidy out of a can last weekend....and I was impressed with that one as well. Great flavor....pretty sure everything they do is in a can.

The Youngs Tj is sending cuz it's got one of those nitro dealies in it, like Guiness cans do....I didn't care for the bottle I had last night all that much, so curious to see how these taste. I tried to pre-emptively tell Tj not to send em to me.....but like most here, heeding such requests is not likely.

^ yup, I agree...it does seem odd for craft beer to be canned. The explanation on the Miami brewing cans, as to why they do it made a lot of sense as I remember though. Totally going from memory, but has something to do with bottles having sun exposure, and damage that can cause...

I did a bunch of can research because I attend the Coachella music festival every year and they allow 30 beers each but no glass. Maui Coconut Porter is great but the Big Swell IPA they make is gross. The Oskar stuff is what I am bringing this year. Gordon GKnight Imperial Red is so good. I saw Fat Tire in a can recently and cant find where to buy it.

I've had the Dales Pale, and now the Ten Fidy from Oskar Blues....both very good. Was considerably more impressed with the Ten Fidy though..

I've never seen the Fat Tire cans either. Cans must be a Colorado thing...lol.

No worries. But like Kyle said, this particular brew is in either a can or bottle. The cans use the "widget" method that Guinness and other beers have used in the past. When you pour it, it creates a beer that "cascades in you glass and created a 1-2" frothy head on it that you normally only get from beer on tap.

This particular beer, the Double Chocolate Stout, is brewed in the UK by Wells and Young's Brewing Co. The bottled version wasn't very good to me. Bitter almost and not in a good way. The can, though, to me, is a GREAT beer.

I MIGHT leave one out of Kyle's box and send it to you! LOL!

Depends on how shipping goes this week.

So, that is my take. I typically agree with you but in this case, the can wins hands down.

Avery Brewing (again, colorado) is putting a bunch of their beer in cans now too. And Kyle, you're right, it's a sun exposure (as well as packability, what with the no glass in a lot of places thing) issue. UV light is the number one offender with regards to skunked beer, and cans protect from that better than any bottle. It's also cheaper to can than it is to bottle, or so I've been told.
