    I don't know how I forgot about Red Racer IPA. It definitely belongs in the top 15.

    West 6th IPA. Not really that known outside of Kentucky, but I will tell you it's really really good. Seek it out...

    Sea Hag should be on the list also.

    What are the 5 best canned beers of all-time? Think about it: Heady... Heady... Heady, Heady, and Heady. Because I spit hot fire.

    Plus it rips and it rhymes. And it rhymes and it rips.

    I haven't had a lot of craft bbers from cans, so my knowledge in that area is a bit limited. But what I do know is, I really enjoy Deviant Dale's. Hop Stoopid (more or less) in can? Yes please!

    This list does not include Sierra Nevada Pale Ale or Torpedo... therefore it is invalid as a list.

    This. I was surprised to not see it on this list. Oh well that's what happens when you only distribute in New Mexico. But awesome beer indeed, I always have a 4 pack or more on hand.

    I was glad to see Modus Hoperandi and Moose Drool in there.

    Looking at the cans they have Coffee Bender and no Furious? Add Caldera too, and Surly Wet.

    I have to admit I'm a fan of cans. Big ones are my favorite. They're great for motor boating.

    Mmmm Surly Bender and Coffee Bender. Great body, incredibly easy-drinking, wonderfully complex... I love those beers.

    Surly Surly would make my list, but Im surly unable to get Surly in my neck of the woods (PGH). Im very Surly over the subject to be frank. Dont call me Francis, or Ill kill ya.
    Brewers like cans better than bottles. Cheaper to ship and they let no light in. If I see cans of the brew Im looking for I buy them.
    I would say my vote is Anderson valley and Six point Bengali tiger.

    I blame tv for this, but all i could picture was you slamming your face back and forth between a couple beer cans. Nothing like laughing at a quiet workplace. Anywho, not a terrible list. I agree that furious should have been on there, but not bad.

    The same goes for growlers. When on the water, half gallon size doesn't quite cut it and I prefer a couple full gallons. A pair of big jugs are perfect for motor boating.

    I've had lots of canned craft beer, and the best one, hands down, far and away, no question is Fort George OPA. Great stuff.
