    The punch top cans was joke btw from my previous quote. Just wanted to make sure that is clear.

    However back in college, I thought Point Special was the greatest canned beer ever. Now ten years fast forward the best that comes to my mind is Ten Fiddy or anything from Oskar Blues. I did recently have Anti-Hero, that was a good beer.

    Great job suggesting beers he can't possibly get anywhere between Colorado and California.

    21st Amendment Hop Crisis. SNPA and Torpedo. Whatever styles you like from Oskar Blues. Instead of 3Beans (not in 90 degree temps) if you can get Six Point go for Benghali Tiger or Resin.

    Yes Heady is one of the best canned beers one can drink, however for my money I'm going with CCB Jai Alai. It is my go-to IPA and for whatever reason I prefer to drink it straight from the can. Drinkability is amazing for a 7.5% ABV beer. There are a few websites that you can order it from. Otherwise go with Oskar Blues Dale's, SNPA, or SN Torpedo

    21st Amendment Hell or High Watermelon is great for the heat and not super heavy to make you want to nap

    Anderson Valley Hop Ottin is definitely worth some space in your cooler.

    I second Surly. Highly and consistently underrated canned beers. They got it right. They even sell it at Target Field (Twins baseball stadium) for games. How many craft breweries actually do that? Not sure, but I'd venture to guess not many?

    I just tried Avery's Ellie's Brown Ale and it was rather good! It was a bit sweeter than I'm used to in a brown ale, but very tasty. They're out of Colorado so you should have no problem finding it there.

    Surly Furious and Abrasive, after that I love Day Tripper from Indeed Brewing, perfect for warm summer weather.

    I have to go with G'Knight on this one and I would definitely throw Resin up there in the mix.
