    I'm going to Coachella next weekend and they only allow canned beers in the camping areas. In your opinion what are some of the best canned beers available. I am located in Colorado but will be able to pick stuff up on the way to California as well. It is supposed to be in the 90s temp wise so I'm thinking mostly IPA's, APA's etc.. but open for any suggestions.

    Thanks!

    3Beans in 90+ degrees? No thanks

    Nothing wrong with your home-state Dale's, it's perfect. Maybe 21st Amendment too. I'd say Jai Alai but I doubt you have access to it anytime soon (unless you buy some online)

    I guess the obvious answer to most would be Surly, but I'm going with DC Brau.

    SNPA or dales pale are perfect, especially in the heat. I'd also suggest 21st Amendment Bitter American and I'm pretty sure All Day IPA is supposed to be in cans now too which, in my opinion, would be the absolute perfect choice.

    Ska modus hoperandi, esb, or blonde. Oscar blues g'knight tallboys, lil yella pils bomber can, ten fidy after the sun goes down. Or, get some dry dock hop abomination, amber, or apricot blonde. Maybe some colorado kolsch, or upslope pale ale, santa fe java stout or happy camper? How about dad and dudes dank ipa? Or maybe crabtree oatmeal stout? Renegade ryteous rye is canned as well. Honestly, if you can't find a great canned beer here in colorado, you're a shut in.
