    Ok, so I am going tubing over the weekend and am looking for some good beers to have on the river. First, they have to be in cans (no glass allowed). Second, I would like something refreshing that isn't a wheat or a pils. Third, something other than Oskar Blues, which is normally my go-to for cans.

    Thanks

    This sounds like a job for Torpedo.

    +1 for Sixpoint....all very solid beers and they have full pint cans instead of 12oz

    Torpedo is a good call, I think the larger cans would be better in that situation. Ive never bought it and havent tried it in a while but Anderson Valley Summer Solstice would probably be pretty refreshing.

    Bitter American is a solid low ABV beer that is very refreshing. Not sure if there is distro to the DC area.
