    Avery White Rascal is top notch for hot weather in my opinion, but it's a Wit, not an IPA or Pale Ale.

    Another great hot weather beer is from Tallgrass--Halcyon Wheat--but I don't know if they distribute in Colorado. They are based in Manhattan, KS, so it's at least a possibility. They also make a tasty Pale Ale: 8-Bit

    Lastly, most of the 21st Amendment brews are tasty as well, but I'm partial to Back in Black (black IPA) and Sneak Attack Saison (this one is seasonal, so you might be out of luck...)

    PS - I'll throw this last one in just because I liked it so much, but I don't think they distribute to anywhere that would be on your way: Sky High Rye by Arcadia Ales.

    Dale's and/or SNPA. If you were able to get it easily, SlyFox (PA) can some great beers, including their Royal Weisse.

    Sculpin !!! Ballast Point just started canning it! I don't think it's getting shipped out of CA yet, but you should be able to find it. Otherwise you can't go wrong with Oscar Blues.

    I've had plenty, and stand by my statement that yours was ridiculous. You also blanketed all of Oskar Blues canned beers, not just Ten Fidy.

    Dale's Pale Ale, or Deviant Dale's if you want something stronger.

    I think residing in Colorado means you basically have to go with OB.

    Seriously, or you can listen to all the people who recommend a bunch of beers you can't get. Everyone out here cans. OB does the mixed can packs, that would be great for a show.

    I'd vote Surly but obviously you can't get that. So I'd go Oskar Blues or 21st Amendment for sure

    Never had anything else from them since I didnt care to try anything else but im guessing they use the same cans just with different labels for all of their beers I love stouts and ive never had to pour one before ten fidy maybe i got some from a bad batch but it tasted like metal

    Oskar blues is a good place to start. Ska brewing has some good canned beers too. Modus hoperandi and euphoria are very good pale ales

    TenFidy and Bitter American are the best beers I've had in a can.

    I can't believe it took 58 posts to get to this beer, clearly available to the OP in Colorado at the beginning of his trip, and so so good. Also in cans (and cheap!) in CO= Avery IPA (somebody mentioned Ellie's but I did not see the IPA)

    Please give it a rest on you're can argument.. You're one of the very few people who have a very weak mind that can't get past the metal container. Beer in a can tastes the same as beer in a bottle.. If it had a negative effect on the beer, brewers wouldn't put their beer in cans and no one would buy it.

    Back on topic, I'll recommend Avery IPA, Mama's Yella Pils, Ska Mexican Logger.. Really any sessionable refreshing beer in that hot sun would be good.
