    If you could only drink one type of canned beer for the rest of your life - what would it be?
    If it's also available in bottles, or a one-off brewery only it doesn't count. Crowlers disqualified too.

    My choice:
    Dales Pale Ale

    The same as if the question was bottled SNPA. That being said I can't think of any beer that only comes in cans 6that I would be willing to restrick myself to

    Whoops. Prima is in both formats.

    So I'll switch to Neshaminy Creek's Trauger Pils.

    If I choose something, can I get it regularly then? If so, I'll go with Focal Banger.

    Interesting question if only for the mental exercise of determining beers that fit the criteria.

    Aslin is can only, but I'm not sure any one beer fits/jumps out. I'd probably have to go hoppy pale, since most porters I like are bottle.

    At this moment, the only one that comes to mind is Steady Eddy by Union (happen to be sharing one now, guess that helps).

    If my brain expands to think of another, I'll reply again :slight_smile:.

    I'd say Live Oak Pilz or Hefe for myself.

    I figure why not choose an IPA, since you're already eliminating a bunch of them by virtue of the format anyway. If the answer is no, I'm sure I'll come up with another, though :wink::slight_smile:.

    Tough decision. Currently I'd probably go with DDH Congress St.

    Short list of other candidates includes Heady, Sip of Sunshine and Second Fiddle. Went with the easier going lower ABV option.
