Good canned beer

[kidwoo]

Yes, an oxymoron I know. Besides guiness and boddington's, what are some tolerable beers in cans (if any)? I'm going to be in the desert for a week and would like to minimize waste volume. I can drink a lot of beer and bottles take up the same space full or empty.

Note: Your mickey's ice and budwieser comments are really funny, make as much of them as possible. C'mon this is SERIOUS!!!!! HELP!!!!

The best beer I've found in cans is Young's. I've also seen Newcastle in cans (I think it's better that way, myself) and Bavik Witbier in can's at Trader Joe's. The Witbier is a nice summer beer...

[Tenchiro]

I dunno if you can get it in cans but Negro Modelo is good, I say go for PBR is you can't get Negro Modelo in a can.

yeah youngs does come in a can. i think i like it better that way. the double chocolate stout that i love so much anyway.

not great, but not bad - i saw yuengling in cans at the grocery store today.

have you thought about one BIG aluminum can? bring a keg! :D

Portland Brewing sells McTarnahans in cans. That's about as good as it gets. May be hard to find in your neck of the woods though.

Sapporo is good.

Yes but very little that comes in cans is beer.

Thanks guys. I'll check Trader Joes for the Bavik. I forgot about Sapporo, that's good desert water. Forgot about Youngs too. And yes the Keg is coming but this is for Burning Man so I give that thing about 30 minutes before it's done. You guys rule with the quick responses. Much appreciated.

[arsenic]

cool. never been to burning man, and prolly never will make it out that way. it'll just end up being one of the many thing i wished i had done :D

have fun and tell all about it :)

[Silver]

I just remembered, the Bavik says Witterkerke on the can...blue cans, comes in a sixer...

[Acadian]

Tetley's and Caffrey's

For burining man go with the guiness... or you could go slummin and go with hieniken in a can... or sapporo... or PBR cause at burning man... you can always barter...

You folks have restored my faith in aluminum. Now the hard part is just finding where to get these brands. Thanks again guys.

F*cken hell Acadian, why did you have to make me look at that site. Not only is Japanese beer cheaper in America but the Australian beer is as well. :( :( Lucky I'm drinkin' freebies tonight. :)

BEVVV..... MOOOOOOOO...... :drool: :drool: :drool:

Can you say BELGAIN's?

but they are probably nothing like the beers in Japan and Australia - just speculating since I've never been to those places. But I know for a fact that (an example) the Stella Artois you buy here in US stores is different than the one in the UK.

[CrazyGambit]

Remember, my cultural outlet is Reno Nevada.......so no. I wish. There are a few wholesalers I might be able to buy from if I get volume.......which I will.

Looks the same, same bottles......try the Coopers a very nice drop indeed, best of the Aussie beers by a long shot.
