    What beer cans would you purchase first if they are available in front of you? I'd prefer to buy those that have ABV of 7% or less. List your best five. Thanks.

    Need your best five? Beginner nonsense. Get with the program.

    I know all about the 99-pack. If it wasn't available, WTF am I going to do?

    If you cannot polish off a 99 pack, then my top 5 cans in Austin right now are:

    Hops and Grain - Pale Dog
    Hops and Grain - Zoe
    Austin Beerworks - Fire Eagle
    Real Ale - White
    Hops and Grain - Greenhouse IPA

    With that said, I only did local beer. And Greenhouse may not be available. I obviously like H&G.

    All these beers are regular extra's in my box's and everyone loves em. My list would look very similar to most of these.

    Hops and grain- they do a great job. No one mentioned their alt though, which is fantastic- I prefer the style over Zoe. Green house releases are always great too. Real ale white is another great summer brew that you can find in Austin.

    H&G Greenhouse (if avail)
    Zoe
    ABW Heavy Machinery (if avail)
    Fire Eagle

    That's my list coming from out of town- though it looks like I need to give infamous IPA a shot too. On a side note: I'll be in austin tomorrow to Friday, any shot at Greenhouse? Planning on dragging a coworker or two to H&G which is where I caught last batch and hope to get lucky again , but would love to bring a 6er back too

    Check the dates on the bottom of the 4 Squared cans. I had an old one a few days ago and it was not very tasty.

    I am sure the best cans you will find in Austin will be the Co-Eds on Sixth Street.......

    I am surprised nobody has mentioned the Oasis Brewing beers. I think they are remarkable beers and of course in a can, so check all three of those beers. http://otxbc.com/category/beers/

    Also, from other parts of Texas that are worth your time, anything from Karbach and Southern Star. From the Dallas area I would recommend Four Corners El Chingon, Deep Ellum IPA and Martin House Imperial Texan.

    Local Texas beer cans?
    5) Hops & Grain The One They Call Zoe
    4) Austin Beerworks Pearl Snap
    3) Real Ale White
    2) Southern Star Walloon
    1) Deep Ellum Dream Crusher

    ... I think. It varies, but that's a good list.
