    Ten Fidy, Old Chub Nitro, Hi-Res are my top 3. The king has to be Ten Fidy tho, which is one of the most phenomenal stouts period, with the other fairly close to each other in second in my book.

    Edit: Read the post above about Trogenator in cans, add that to make a 3 way tie for second imo.

    Fiddlehead mastermind was what I was going to say too.. definitely a trade, but worth it. Jai Alai second for me.

    A few of my favorite cans:

    Bell's Two Hearted
    Westbrook Gose
    Carton 077XX
    Finch's Secret Stache

    And, of course, Ten Fidy and Heady.

    People drinking 32oz sucks would end the reception early!

    I would say that a Ballast Point lineup up across the board--lower alcohol--Even Keel for summer at < 4%, their Pale ale which is actually a Kolsch, their Longfin Lager which is just delicious and then Sculpin. Something for everyone!!!!!

    Well I would say Heady Topper. I am fortunate enough to have a buddy who sends some my way about 6 times a year. Otherwise I would say Sculpin, Pizza Port Swami, and an old favorite I cannot get out here in AZ, Sixpoint Resin. It was the first canned craft beer I ever drank.

    Heady 100%.


    For something a little subtle, I actually like Golden Road's Saison Pamplemousse. So crisp.

    I think some PBR pounders surrounded by a nice batch of Jai-Alai 12 ouncers would be a great site in a wheelbarrow full of ice

    Just going off the Summer wedding aspect of things but you may want to steer clear of Ten Fidy. Not because it isn't an EPIC beer(it is IMO) but because it doesn't scream summertime brew. You may want to consider the Saint Archer beers that they can. They make a very nice Pale Ale and their IPA is awesome. Also you you can't go wrong with SN Pale Ale. Cheers and congrats!

    I'm a big fan of Ten Fidy, but I think Two-Hearted is the perfect intersection of flavor and price.

    Modern Times Black House recently won me over, but I still only like it in a can. I had it at the tasting room one time and I fucking hated it. It was really, really thin and didn't taste too strongly of coffee. The can is solid, though. I'll drink that any day for easy drinking.

    Also, I might be alone on this one, but I'm actually a big fan of Saint Archer IPA (for some reasons I'm still not to sure of) in a can, even though I'm not a fan of Saint Archer on the whole (I'm actually drinking this right now).
