    Interesting about the can shortage. I wonder if the same with happen with any other breweries.

    Drink some pre hike, split the difference. Or make the dog carry some, you can share some so you don't feel guilty. :grin:

    Is it normally canned or on draft only?
    I’m confused what the big news is.

    This is a good idea.

    Anyone know where I might be able to find a dog? ISO: beerdog.

    It has been in cans for a little while. Previous years were bottled at one point, but they switched to 12oz cans. Seems they just can't make up their mind.

    Hah it also occurred to me that you might put your beer(s) in a socks to minimize the 'clanking
    Chalice transportation is the next lesson :wink:

    It had been in cans for a couple years. I'm guessing the "news" element here is mostly an additional point in the evolving "can shortage" story. The idea that Bell's had a hard time sourcing cans (and Terrence mentioned something similar in the summer fest thread about sierra Nevada not being that big in the can producers eyes) certainly highlights what folks have been saying since summer, there really might not be enough cans for the haze bros soon!
    Bottled hopslam was always better anyway

    I don’t know if it’s psychological, but there’s always something better about glass.

    It's been happening since March/April. All the beer that was going into kegs, had to get packaged.

    All the can factories are at capacity, and new ones won't be on-line until late'21/early '22.

    For nostalgia, I'm looking forward to seeing it in bottles again. It'll remind me of when I used to hunt it down. Oh, the good ol days! :slight_smile:

    That would make a single IPA 3.3% ABV
