    Hmm well hopefully those come.back around here. The two stores I most commonly get beer at have phased them out in favor of the bigger cans.

    That sucks, I like that as an as alternate format to take backpacking or hiking, but not as the only available option.

    Agreed, I also like it for bigger beers that do better with some warmth, I feel like I have to hurry up to finish an IPA that large before it gets warmer than I'd like, especially in the summer.

    Like I said though, the latest widowmaker batch has been keeping me more than happy

    New Glory has been crushing it for me lately. I'm 3 cans deep on a pack of Dripping Wet DIPA from them and, while I think it edges just outside of WC its still got a nice bitterness throughout that makes the whole thing xcome together. These folks are putting out some excellent beer

    Pretty great modern example of a west coast IPA from Slice (Lincoln) this weekend. They are mostly know for hazy IPAs, but this was a good WC. Citra and HBC 586 hops.

    I've really liked the bonsai series from Pure Project. I've had 2 of them so far, Black Pine and the newest one, Tamarack. Black Pine was fantastic, I wish I'd bought a few more 4 packs. Tamarack is decent but Black Pine was the winner for me
