    So I tried Two Brothers brand new canned Side Kick Extra Pale Ale. It kinda blew my mind how good of a job they did here. Honestly I think it gives Daisy Cutter a run for it's (or mine) money.

    So what do we like from our region that is canned?

    I hope that galatic comes back in cans but they already 86'd double daisy in cans during the last release.

    That's brewed in our region or available in our region? Because Oskar Blues just showed up, that might take the cake for me with G'Knight here now. But Bell's will be canning sooooooon!!!!! I would love me some canned Two Hearted!

    I'm interested in trying SideKick out. My vote goes to Revolution Eugene. Anti-Hero is good too but I give the nod to Eugene.

    Had my first sidekick last night. I will be pounding that all summer. But daisy cutter is still the king IMO

    Also if I'm giving hometown love it's going to A Little Crazy, but Vivant is the kings of things in cans (EDIT-In the great lakes region).

    While burica2020 has beat me to the punch with the glory that is Vivant I will add Ska's Modus Hoperandi to the pile (even if it's not from the area).

    From the area: I will second Vivant.....

    Modus is my go-to summer beer when I'm not drinking homebrew.
