AleSmith Speedway Stout Cans

I'm all for any effort to get beer out of bombers and into 12oz formats.

 

I am excited. I agree with getting the can vs. the bomber. I love beer but would prefer not to have to crack a bomber to enjoy it.

 

16oz cans. I actually prefer the pint size cans to 12oz, even for heavy stouts like this and EMJ.

 

Just what the doctor ordered, dark beer for dark times.

 

I'm with you on this. Bust unfortunately it's a 16 ozer instead of 12. With a 750 ml bottle at least I have the option of using a wine stopper and drink it over the course of several days. With a 16oz I'm now on a fast track to weight gain and other dastardly things.

 

It's funny how much more presence they gave the word "coffee" on this package.

I think I remember some interview with Peter Zien where he was bragging about being a craft beer pioneer in putting high ABV beers in 750s. It was an image thing. My memory could be failing me though. I rolled my eyes then and I smile now.

 

I've seen liquor store posts on IG that these are sold solo, not in a 4-pack. Very disappointing as that most likely means a crappy price point. Evil Twin is doing it, why can't everyone else!

 

Not exactly sure what you're referring to, but if its political in nature, I would ask that you keep those kinds of comments out of the forum.

Let's just focus on the beer.

 

Like fun?

 

Loving this move, will definitely be drinking Speedway more often now that I don't have to pick the right time to drink 25oz.

 

Nothing like a good dark stout on a February night!

 

While I'm not all for getting rid of the bomber, this is one beer I'd be glad to see in both formats. Such a lovely beer. It is without a doubt a great coffee stout, and making it in a more accessible format will only do it favors. I'd love to have a 4 or 6 pack at my place sitting in the cellar to get a shot of coffee whenever I need one!

 

Stout in cans has never really taken off but it certainly works well for Ten Fidy!

 

It's up on some online retailers I like to check from time to time. I really am glad it came to the format. I just hope the bomber sticks around. Since I have to trade for Alesmith, the bomber is more worth it, and it's such an experience of a beer, that I enjoy sharing it - and the bomber makes that much more do-able.

 

Dude, that's awesome. I can't wait to grab some. Stout tallboys, its such a beautiful sight.

 

I don't think it's ever been in the bomber format, only 750s

 

Anyone seen a price point yet? I've been scouring IG and can't find anything.

 

I think it is happening right now. Evil Twin is doing it and there's a chance KRBC will do it now that Just Outstanding is canned. SoB by Epic, 5Beans (the #Bean series), etc. I'm elated.

 

Is a bomber only 22oz? I always just thought it was a larger format bottle. Woops. Either way, I like Speedway in the larger bottle and hope they still offer that as well.
