    Strangely enough the new quality can is something that my none beer geeks/connoisseur friends
    disbelieve me most
    all of them have gotten their heads around American beer being more than fizzy piss like Mudweiser & Biller

    but when I facebook etc post about great beer in cans I get NO! as replies&responses

    The way they seal in the freshness & keep hop tastes big is amazing
    better than regular bottle
    not as good as bottle conditioned

    perhaps someone can create can conditioning

    but now have visions of having to rack a can of beer for two days before putting in a tap with a tiny mallet to dispense it

    oh and having them delivered on three foot scaled down dray wagons lol

    I was under the impression that some of the cans I've tried have had yeast in them. Perhaps it's some other type of sediment or not live?

    Currently have a can of Beavertown's Neck Oil in my fridge....

    Yeah there are some can conditioned beers. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (probably the biggest selling canned craft beer in the US) is can conditioned as seen below.

    I'm sure anyone who frequents a 'Spoons will be aware that they have 3 Sixpoint beers in cans on a regular basis. I'm not a big fan of The Crisp, but really like Sweet Action and Bengali Tiger. Have them on a regular basis.
