    With Hill Farmstead now canning both 12oz and 16oz hoppy beers occasionally, it got me to thinking about all the other delicious canned offerings up in VT. Aside from the list of "usual suspects" listed below, what are your favorite 16oz cans from Vermont?

    Focal Banger
    Heady Topper
    Second Fiddle
    Sip of Sunshine (technically from CT, but whatever)
    Prospect (how often is this even canned?)

    So many great beers to choose from but I'm a huge fan of Lost Nation's Mosaic. I wish it made it down to MA more often.

    I think 14th Star Tribute belongs in the mix.

    edit: And Lost Nation Pils when we can get it.

    No one said Simple Roots' Citra and Amarillo or Good Neighbor? Well, I will.

    Upper pass

    I would rather drink First Drop than anything I've had from from Lost Nation, 14th star, and BBC (haven't had a ton of BBC).

    Prospect (when it's canned) is hard to beat.

    Lots of good ones already said. The list will grow longer once Foam and Frost start to can

    Yeah, +1 on Hermit Thrush - I always forget about Hermit Thrush. I'm not a big fan of the sour stuff but sometimes I just have to scratch the itch and Hermit Thrush is about the best way there is to do that.

    Oh man, that'll make VT trips even more expensive. Any idea if those are imminent?

    Sure, I'd love to find some of that at my local bevvie.

    For relevance, I'd say anything Alchemist for sure. Upper Pass is great, BBCO has some real winners from time to time and I love the Simple Roots cans too. Lost Nation is picking up the quality lately with the Mosaic. Zero Gravity is a happy fridge option, especially their one-offs like Strawberry Moon, Madonna, and that stellar Keller.

    I always pass on Sip, Stone Corral and Farnham. Hermit Thrush is too expensive and every can I've had has been seriously spoiled. Shame cause I love their beers so it's draft only for me.

    The 16oz cans of Cowboy Neal and Mastermind from last Saturday's release at Fiddlehead are tasting pretty good right now.

    Phaze by four quarters was amazing last time I was able to get it in cans
