    Just curious to see how some people feel about aging canned beers such as Sixpoint 4Beans. Will the beer/alcohol deteriorate the can after a while? I've had it already fresh and its pretty damn good, i'd like to see how it would be with about a year on it though. Thanks!

    I can only speak to my own experience, but I aged a couple cans of Cigar City Brewpub's Leon's Grandson. They aged beautifully in my opinion. The last one I had, at 2 years, was far superior to the fresh and one year aged versions I had. No problems whatsoever.

    Modern cans don't have any issues. My only experience has been with Oscar Blues Ten Fidy which was great cellared.

    Another vote that Ten Fidy cellars really well.
