    They can it! That'd be great for the pool/camping.

    Am I a cynic for thinking this will somehow provide more fodder for the anti-Sculpin crowd? Always a go-to in my 'fridge.

    I wish they didn't filter it, it would be even better.

    For whatever reason, Sculpin is so much better in cans than bottles

    Probably has to do with how it stays fresher longer in cans...do you check the bottle date when you have bought bottles? I started after a bad experience and it tastes great out of the bottle when fresh!

    Actually Sculpin isn't technically "filtered" it is clarified with a centrifuge which clears the beer up but doesn't really take away from flavor or aroma.

    Awesome video , I really enjoyed my trip to San Diego, although I never got to check out Ballast Point. The Stone tour was cool

    Canning lines have low amounts of O2 compared to many bottling lines. O2 kills hop aromas. The better breweries have more sophisticated bottling lines that leave little O2 in the bottle.
