    Just a note to say that with apparently zero hype Berkshire Brewing has started to sell six pack cans of their Lost Sailor IPA. As it has been for many years it's an English style IPA, worlds away from high-IBU American palate blasters. A solid, flavorful product at a good price which I've always enjoyed in bottles and on tap, and which translates well to the 12 oz format. If that sounds like it's for you. check it out when you get a chance.

    thanks for the heads up, thats a great ale but I will rarely buy bombers, 12oz format works for me on this one

    That is a nice beer. Been it a while since I had it but cans will be a good way to get back on the horse.

    I'm really hoping they'll can the Czech pilsner when it comes around this year.

    Lost Sailor is great stuff...one of my favorites from BBC. I'm going to keep my eyes open for it!

    Really good English ipa. Always like it every time I have it.....not sure why I don't grab it more. Six packs give me more of a reason

    Awesome. I bet it will be reasonably priced as well. Def one of my favorite BBC beers, especially for $4.00/22oz. Haven't seen it yet but will keep an eye out.

    In talking to one of the BBC guys during the fall, sounds like Czech Pils is next, then probably Cabin Fever.

    Saw these at CBC in Westford last night. Store guy said they just came in hours ago (as well as cans of Notch’s Left of the Dial)

    Not sure if I missed this tidbit, but did BBC install a canning line or are they outsourcing? Anyone know?

    Czech pils in cans would be a game changer in my fridge.

    I didn't notice, unfortunately. Surprised at myself for not checking eventhough I was shopping for other things.

    Yup, I talked to a rep about that and he agreed with this thought on the Czech pils coming next. Both the LS and CP will be awesome to have in cans, that is for sure.

    I wonder if that means Czech Pils won't be just a seasonal anymore.

    Czech Pils in cans would be sublime.
