    Not a fan of their low-abv beers, but it would make sense for summer. My top picks would be Greenbacks or G Is for Green.

    I'd go apeshit if G is for green gets canned! Would really like mosaic canned again though as I missed out on that one.

    Drinking my growler of Canni'baal I had filled the other day. Really enjoying it!

    I'm not one to camp out early in lines, but for Mosaic I would.

    Mosaic is just bonkers. I wonder how long it will be until we get it canned again, especially if they A) want to do other single hop releases and/or B) do Citra and Nelson again first.

    With every other week can releases i'm interested in seeing if they get on a regular schedule with the same beers or if they continue to release new brews. Green Diamonds seems to be in constant rotation but other than that its been all new beers.

    Yea it's kind of odd too considering just about every person here, if polled, would not put GD at the top of their favorite OH IPAs...its very good but give me mosaic or AGE every time lol

    Drank my last can of Mosaic yesterday. Even my friends who generally don't drink IPAs thought it was special. Can't wait for it to come around again. Never got to try G is for Green.

    I don't even care about the cans, I'd get growlers of that all day long.

    Now that the Hop Showers cans have been approved I'm hoping we start seeing it as often as they've been canning GD. So far it has been my favorite (Hop Showers), though I missed out on Mosaic.

    I love AGE on draft and have gotten plenty of growlers to take home before, but that high ABV just doesn't work well with me in a can. Not like I'm pounding cans of it, but it seems like every time I've had a can or two of it I end up with a headache in the morning.

    My canned releases hierarchy (based on flavor out of the can):

    1. Hop Showers
    2. Mosaic
    3. Citra
    4. Green Diamonds
    5. All Green Everything
    6. Nelson

    Not sure how to factor Superfun! into that list, but probably somewhere around #5. Really did love the canned AGE (just too much for me) and canned Nelson was a significant downturn from the kegged release a few weeks prior to the cans.

    That's interesting about the Nelson, I only had it in cans, and loved it. Makes it tough to go back to Singlecut's nelson now.

    Last batch of Nelson while very good, was a bit more subdued than previous versions. Great beer, hope it comes back soon.

    I'd love to see a G is for Green / Greenbacks canning combo some weekend. That would be a hop heads dream!
