    Can we all agree that this( the can format) is the dumbest shit ever?
    Its like if they came up on surplus White Claw cans and decided to put an edgy beer in it

    Speak for yourself. It’s a 1 liter Paulaner Oktoberfest can for this guy.

    Almost kinda like a "childs' brew" size for mass markets?

    I'll always need to pour two dinky cans into a proper glass, otherwise, if'n it was a hot, summer, lawn mowing day, one dinky can, two gulps, and GONE!

    SN Pils finally made it to Frederick MD stores. Canned on 11/26/25 (3 months old). Sad distribution but I still bought a 8 pack.

    3 months old is less than ideal but Sierra Nevada has a high quality packaging line (i.e., low TPO values when canning) so hopefully these beers will still be tasty.

    I just wish they came in 12 ounce cans vs. those little cans but...

    Cheers!

    My son and I each had one last night and I thought it was very good. Fine with the 3 months of age. I actually like the 8 cans at 8.5 oz. That’s a nice spot. That format would be perfect for a sampler pack (4 different beers / 2 each). The 8 oz still feels like a proper glass serving size to me vs a small glass sampler at a taphouse in comparison.

    Same. Hell, I’d be fine with 16 oz. I liked the beer, but won’t be buying the small format again
