    I'm packing for vacation, so obviously beer is at the top of my list. I was hoping to bring All Day cans, but they're not available yet, but would like to find something similar. Another light IPA or maybe a citrusy-hoppy pale ale. Any recommendations? I live in and will be vacationing in Massachusetts. Thanks.

    Unita Hop Notch have shown up in cans recently. Baxter Stowaway IPA are always good on a hot day.

    Heavy Seas Loose Cannon is stronger but pretty good and the cans are available in Mass.

    Two Brothers Sidekick. It is my favorite right now.

    I was in the same spot. I picked up some Baxter Pamola and fresh-ish Hop Notch cans.

    My guilty pleasure is 21st Amendment Hell or High Watermelon. It's not a great beer, but it's perfect for cracking one open at noon without dooming yourself to a 5:00 PM bedtime.

    One of the guys at Redstone had good things to say about Stiegel Radler (grapefruit) as another light, Summery offering.)

    Sierra Nevada Summerfest is in cans now (They had plenty at Yankee in Attleboro yesterday). Grab as many as you can afford. I would suggest you stay away from Harpoon Summer. It was a terrible Kolsch in my opinion, and just all around not a tasty beer. But that's just this man's opinion....

    Brooklyn Lager cans are nice too!

    Cisco Grey Lady is 1 of my best finds of the summer. Interesting Belgian Wit style that separates it from others & avail in 12 pack cans.

    Thanks for the recommendations. So many interesting choices. I'm really hoping they have Sidekick. Newburyport sounds really good too. Plus the guys a Redstone are always helpful.
