    That is just one of their "STOCK" photos for the Beer. Some photos have a glass, some have a can. See the web site. It varies depending on beer, it is about 50/50 with the phots. https://fieldworkbrewing.com/our-beer/

    Doubt there was any intention to mislead. I read it as on tap only. They even specified it as DRAFT ONLY in the text in instagram.

    I know how to read. I saw that it was draught only when the Instagram came out. It was like "Oh it's back in cans." followed by 5 seconds later: "Oh, they just rehashed a misleading picture because it's actually tap only."

    Why are they above critique? It only takes another 10 seconds to take a different photo.

    You Fieldwork fanboys are so damn defensive.

    Yeah, you could say lazy with the pictures. It would be more consistent to just show the beer in a glass.

    I am just used to all the Can pics now since they use them about half the time in all their social media posts.

    Hey y'all! I have a couple of questions and I'd appreciate some help with them. I am flying into San Fran thursday night from St. Augustine,FL. What are the chances of this lasting into friday? Do they usually put a limit on cans? Assuming this doesn't last at the berkeley, what location would be the best to get a couple cans? Thanks in advance! Cheers!

    Usually cans last through Thursday in Berkeley, sometimes into Friday. Then the rest of the taproms with Friday release Napa, Sacramento and San Mateo can last a day or 2.

    When I go on Fridays at lunch there is usually no line now in Sacramento. No hassle at all now.

    For instance on the 9/24/17 release (NS and Torr) in Sacramento, cans lasted 5 days until 9/28/17.

    Can't wait for Sploosh to arrive in San Mateo. Their lineup is kind of boring right now...

    Ended up being a Triple Can Release today at Fieldwork. 2 Wet Hop West Coast IPAs - Sploosh and Power Ranger. They also had "Invisible Touch" NE Pale Ale,

    Invisible Touch cans have what looks to be some scene from Tatooine from Star Wars.

    Oh dang, I was there as they released the two Wet Hop beers and had no idea about invisible touch. I actually preferred it to the two others. I thought the DIPA was good, but not quite worth the 8.8%. The single IPA I thought was decent enough to get a couple cans of.

    Invisible Touch was my favorite over Sploosh by a small margin as well on tap. They didn't have Flower Ranger on tap yet in Sacramento for some reason? I am going to have a few different cans this weekend. I also want to save a few cans for trying in a week or so.

    Incredibly nice day on the FW Patio in Midtown for hanging out and chilling.

    Picked up a few cans of the Sploosh and Flower Rangers this morning. Just tried a Sploosh; tasted exactly like I would have expected of a fresh hop DIPA. A fan.

    Just tried all three of the cans this eve. Sploosh is awesome. Fruity, fresh, and light on the bitterness. Flower Rangers tasted pretty typical of fresh hop beers. Good but didn't blow my mind. More on the floral end for sure, as the name would suggest.

    Invisible touch was a surprise, definitely way more hoppy than I expected from a "pale". Came off as a slightly lighter than normal NE IPA. And a hoppy one at that. Good stuff.

    Just picked up cans of St Thomas and Eastside at Berkeley. Had a pour of the St Thomas and it’s tasting awesome. Having an Invisible Touch now while waiting for my cans to chill.
