    Hello fellow beer geeks - going on a multi-day river trip where glass bottles are prohibited. Any suggestions for a nice session beer that I can find in cans? Was thinking the Oskar Blues' Old Chub but that is a little strong for a session.

    Thanks.

    Budweiser bowtie cans if available, otherwise stick to Bud Light Lime-a-Rita

    Naturally, I'd go with an IPA, so maybe Dale's or Good People.

    What's your max ABV? (Since we do have to ask.)

    yeah, for most of the trip I would say it is fine. but there are some class III rapids to contend with....ah, screw it - no ABV limit!

    21st Amendment Sneak Attack Saison is fantastic. Clocks in at 6.2% but light and refreshing.

    While a bit over your ABV target (and the term "session"), I love Ska's canned ESB and drinking 2-3 is all too easy.
