    I'm surprised no one has mentioned Focal Banger....

    Given a choice I'll take a can for the same beer if available.

    Love SN Torpedo in the 16 oz cans.
    For the cheaper stuff I've been drinking Miller High Life and Yuengling in cans.

    The only Sam Adams I usually get is the fall pack and so far that's not in cans, so...

    My guess is Heady, the #1 of the top 250.

    ...that I have had:

    Alchemist Focal Banger
    Alchemist Heady Topper
    Alchemist The Crusher
    Bell's Two Hearted
    Bissel Bros Substance IPA
    Carton 077XX DIPA
    Founder All Day
    Ft George (w/Boneyard & Block 15) 3-Way IPA
    NEBCo Seahag IPA
    NEBCo Gandhi-Bot
    Oskar Blues Ten Fidy
    Pizza Port Swami IPA
    Pizza Port Ponto SIPA
    Surly Abrasive

    Not a lot of breweries canning in the bay area, sadly. Of the ones listed above, only Oskar Blues is in my distro. Sure AVBC and 21st can, but not anything that I find exceptional.
