    My personal favorite is Hop Ryot from Jackie O's. Of course it's not on the same level as Heady or anything, but I can get it fresh anytime I want. Thats what makes it my favorite. Mystic mama is another one of my go to's.

    Tallgrass Ethos, Oskar Blues Ten Fidy and Sixpoint Resin are among my favorites.

    Why it's Pabst Blue Ribbon of course the Best original beer in a can
    It actually tastes great drinking it from the can.
    Any micro brews that now come in cans I always pours into a glass but
    Pabst was made to be imbibed from a can.

    Good to see Deviant getting some mentions, a really good DIPA.

    Now that I'm a couple weeks older and wiser, I gotta add Gubna to this list. Ten Fidy stands out among these excellent beers though as the best IMO.I have also been enjoying Fat Tire in cans and Golden Road singles that I've found recently. I am hoping to soon try some cigar city Maduro.

    As far as local beer, my vote goes for Karbach Hopadillo.

    Heady Topper
    SN Torpedo
    SN Pale Ale

    I don't understand the love affair with Carton, each time I've tried their beer on tap it's been average at best.

    As for best, it is unquestionably Heady.

    Ghandibot is unreal as well.

    I will also second the notion that Sculpin is dramatically better from a can (not that it's bad from a bottle).

    So many good options, but lately...really dig Modern Times Blazing World and had a Saint Archer Pale Ale that was surprisingly good too -- great aromatics on that one.
