    I'm looking for a quality canned craft beer that will be good to drink all day at the river. Need something that is readily available. Suggestions?

    Mmmm...cans of sculpin and modern times.

    If you can find it and feel like having a bomb in your stomach go for some good ol Ten Fidy or Old Chub. Good good stuff.

    I live in Orange County. First thought was Sculpin or SN Pale Ale but I wanted to get some other suggestions. Haven't experienced too many canned craft brews as of yet. Thank you all for the help!

    My only concern with drinking Sculpin all day on the river is the cost. Those type of river trips tend to end in a lot of wasted beer.

    SN Pale may be the best option. Or start with a couple MT/Ballast Point/Pizza Port, and then switch over to SN Pale.

    This is where Easy Jack in cans would be perfect.

    Anderson Valley has good options like Boont Amber, Summer solstice, or 128. Oskar blues tend to be on the stronger abv side but are also quality.

    Anderson Valley Gose is a great alternative to the typical light beer on a hot day!!!!

    I think St. Archer's is putting out the best options right now. Kolsch... Pale... IPA (not sure how many heavy IPA's anyone wants to drink on the river out in the 100F+ heat).

    Is MT going to can Booming Rollers? That beer was outstanding.

    One of my go to cans has been Oskar Blues Dales Pale.

    Is the Anderson Valley Gose available in cans in the LA area? I have yet to see it and would definitely pick some up.
