    The only thing bad about more breweries canning is that I'm going to have to increase the amount of space and set up a can section next to my empty bottle collection.

    The 6 pack I just snagged had one stamped on the bottom left of the label. Used to be on the neck.

    Please put Sculpin in 4-packs or something so that I don't feel gross paying $17/ sixer of bottles.

    I know it's just a mental thing, but it's easier for me to swallow paying $10-12/ four-pack than almost $20 for six 12oz bottles of beer.

    Great news!!

    My buddy and I are sick of getting old Bombers in Ohio - we've been bitchin they need to can and the dream came true!!! It's a 30/70 chance Sculpins are old and they run at least $9-11. I've had good luck with the 6 packs being fresh.

    I'll be happy to take your money. Lagunitas has said they will NEVER can their beers.

    Agree. While it makes economical sense to can instead of bottle,some breweries will never can because of the stigma that comes with cans. I hope Ballast starts canning some of their rum.

    i talked at length with the beer manager at the store i frequent. we both agreed we think it is going that way eventually. i have no problem with it. cans keep beer fresher longer.

    Love that more breweries are canning. I hate the sound of bottles clanking.
