    Where do I find this? I live in Utah now, but my mom (gawd bless her heart) sends me a FedEx package of beer every few months. I heard that this was happening - can anyone confirm? Also, are there any others besides Oberon and Two Hearted in cans? Where in the GR/Lansing area can she find them? Thanks brewds.

    Meijer has em for ~$6/4pk this week. Just Oberon and Two-Hearted as far as Bells brews go.

    Looks like a trip to Meijer on this my day off is in order! Anyone know if these are can dated?
    (Yes I know they are new so they will be fresh) Just curious

    Yeah, there's a date on the cardboard carrier. All I've seen have been end of April dates.

    Also noticed there is an individual canning date on the bottom of every can. Bell's just does it RIGHT!

    Talking to some people from Bell's, they do not brew nearly enough Oarsman to even consider canning. I tend to agree that this would be a nearly perfect summer canned beer, it just does not seem like logistics will support it anytime soon.

    How about Q-Falls in a can. Guess should wish for bottles first. Or have Mallett work his magic and get the ABV on Q Falls below 5% = a real nice summer.

    My guess is the answer is going to be the same. Based on rather limited information, I would not expect to see anything but the staples in cans at this point. Things like Amber and Best Brown may be more likely.

    Just dreaming here on Q Falls. Bell's did say they're canning the rest of their seasonal lineup.

    My magic 8 ball says that these cans of Two-Hearted are going to be directly responsible for me falling off a pontoon boat at some time this summer.

    Found a 4-pack of Two Hearted last night at the Beer Cellar in Glen Ellyn.

    Bell's doesn't seem to really get behind their lagers. I just want bottles of Oktoberfest back....

    Probably has to do with production of the core ales taking precedence. Larry has stated that Q Falls is expensive to make due to the lagering time in the tanks, then it is dry hopped taking up more tank time.

    Some of us hope with all of the expansion they can see fit to spend tank time on the Q Falls, the Consecrator, and start making a lager in those Strohs wooden vats!
