    My most wanted cans are Waiting for the Bloom. That was one of the earlier cans and they only did it once.

    Nice aim with your post number!

    Powertrip Technology.. that one isn't really old but it was very nice when they brewed it at the ferm before the canning line was around
    OV Coffee/cherries

    no need for cans on any of these... just brew them again at the in small batch and don't allow growlers so they stay around on tap long enough for a good number of people to enjoy

    Nice release. I loved Oblivex (never had it in a can though). Double Birth sounds right up my alley.

    I'm surprised they haven't done new artwork for HopHands by now.

    Maybe that bridge closure will keep some of the NJ folks away this week?

    Yeah was going to say any of the knuckles (I know they canned one last year) and agree with the on tap thing. My favorite that have stood out in that i have gotten multiple growlers through the years have to be Infinite Energy and I know he has said in the past that he doesn't really enjoy doing large stouts but I do love Only Void. Was looking back through some reviews etc and I remembered that they used to do a single hop saison series that I remember being hit or miss.

    The thing that I have come to learn about myself and Tired Hands though is that I think I enjoy their fruited saisons/sours a lot more than I enjoy any of their fruited ipas. I want to get the nuances of the hops and yeast in those double ipas more than any particular fruit.

    I would love it if they would can some of the old FarmHands. I like what the beer has become, but the old stainless version was just as good.

    Grassman is my favorite IPA I've had of theirs, though it's not an oldie. I'd love to see that make it into regular rotation.

    Would love some Dystopian Forest again as well. Probably the best 6% brew I've ever had.

    stouts don't make that money honey.. dolla makes ya holla

    i had hoped when they poached the guy Mike from Kane that a stout/dark era was coming.... it didn't... what a waste of talent imo... i get it though.. it's a lot of ingredient for not as much ROI.. ROI is obviously very important to the business model.. and i can't knock that.. it would be at the top of my business model too, but shit throw us a bone every now and again OV/COV 2 times a year doesn't cut it

    nothing with a trace of a bug is going to go through the canning line at the ferm.. wish in one hand, shit in the other and see what fills first

    grassman i hope returns too

    Another price hike too, 2 bucks more for Ob.

    People are bummed but they will not vote with their dollar.

    I'm sure people will slightly vote with their dollars (even if TH still sells out each day). All the DIPA's have been +2$ in 2017 but the other beers seem the be the same.

    Coffee Cherry Only Void. It's amazing and so overlooked and overdue for a can. I've been waiting a year and if it happens I won't miss it.

    It is model driven, certainly a big difference between the model for Kane. Kane doesn't have to worry about dedicating storage space for food product so they can use that for other things. I also would think some thought is given in aligning what the restaurant is trying to do vs. beers that are being put out. Another thing a Kane type brewery wouldn't have to worry about. The best you can hope for along these lines is a separate facility solely dedicated towards packaged product.
