    Got kinda burned out On it now, but I bet hip Hunter would keep that super fresh zest a bit longer.. Wouldn't mind taking some hop Hunter cans to the beach.
    Also
    Celebration
    Hoptimum would be awesome too.

    I'm a bottle guy and really don't care for cans. However, I very rarely pour into a pint glass so that's probably why I prefer bottles.

    Just trying to be helpful, but you do know that smell is a huge part of a beer's flavor and pouring it into a glass really helps enhance that?

    I think what you mentioned is a huge part of the appeal of cans - portability, weight, and ease of storage.
    At least as far as Celebration goes, that's still a beer where the hoppiness counts a bit and canning can help to preserve the freshness.

    I think cans are a great option for outdoors, I will usually take canned beers when camping, so unless I'm camping with Celebration Ale I'm not sure I would care if it's canned.

    Love cans for easy storage and portability... also, my neighbors crush cans and take them to the scrap yard so I don't feel like such an alcoholic when I take my recycling to the curb. :flushed:

    Honestly it tastes great out of bottles. I think canning is good for hoppier offerings, but I definitely prefer brown bottles for everything else. Bauxite mining is very bad for the environment, and just because they are easy to recycle doesn't mean that people do. Also the lingering bis-phenol a question is still pretty concerning, while it's true we are exposed to many carcinogens on a regular basis, I do not think we should voluntarily ingest one that is so potent when we don't have to.

    I agree about the outdoors. I like cans when going a lot of places that don't allow or frown upon glass containers (i.e. dog park, tail gating, beaches, hiking).

    I also own a hot tub, and would rather drink from a can than pouring my beer into plastic glassware before going in.

    I would love to see more of their stuff in cans. I like cans if for nothing more than the fact that they make my recycling that much lighter.

    Tallboy can 4 packs would be perfect, but would happy with a standard 6 pack of cans too. Much better for travel and storage.

    None of the above. Like I said, I'm a bottle guy so that's what I drink from 95% of the time.
