    Most of the ones I really, really like aren't available in my area. If distro was a non-issue, I'd go with Stoudt's or Sunshine.
    If it's something I have to be able to get regularly, Bitburger and Santa Fe Freestyle probably take the cake.

    Sly Fox and Neshaminy Creek are also in the running, along with Sunshine and Prima. Lately, whatever is freshest is my favorite for the week.

    I have not purchased Prima Pils in cans yet but it is definitely 'on my radar screen'.

    Cheers!

    The best 4 I could think of too, and all different. Love Trauger Pils, it's just a flat out cracker dry finish that I love.

    Around here I can count the number of canned Pilsners on two fingers and neither is memorable.

    What I am drinking right now while writing this post. Summit's 30th anniversary Keller Pils.

    In Mass, I was pumped to recently find Prima Pils in cans. Now if we could only get canned Jever...

    Just had "Who You Callin a Wussie" from Arrogant Brewing (Stone). My new go to Pilsner. Everything the BMC Swill crowd wishes it was.

    Sixpoint Crisp, the complexity in flavors should be illegal,

    Yeah, The Crisp!
    Payback Pilsner (Four String, Columbus, OH) is also pretty solid.

    urquell, the crisp, and nooner are all great options I've seen mentioned several times. however, I think the canned pilsner is one thing texas is currently dominating, at least as far as the US goes. between real ale Hans pils, live oak pilz, and the newer st arnolds 5 o clock pils, I'm set. all 3 are excellent. live oak (czech) and real ale (german) take care of the more traditional style pilsners, while 5 o clock has that extra hop kick from the dry hop when that's the itch I'm looking to scratch.
