Backcountry users rejoice- Micro Beer in a can!

This may be old news to some of the TAYers but, I just discovered this most EXCELLENT Beer in a can. I particularly liked the IPA.

Distribution is spotty but, I was able to find it at Whole Foods. Any of you Washington folks ever find Micro beer in a can? I know Mactarnahans used to be available in a can but no longer.

Just thought I'd share,

I've seen evidence of fat tire in a can...but need to do more research to confirm......

Several high quality beers, all in cans:
www.oskarblues.com/brew

They are available at the mega-QFC in the U Village. My buddy swears by this stuff -- it's expensive, but quite tasty. We enjoyed a couple of ice cold cans of Gordon after skiing Mount Logan, while still miles from civilization

This is a subject area where I have done extensive and authorative research. 

The Oskar Blues is indeed good. Pricey at 1.66/can and up but still worth it once in a while. The Gordon and Tenfidy are particularly pricey so I stick with the Dale's Pale. Be prepared to deal with the occasional over and underfilled can. They could use some QC on the line

I've seen Fat Tire in a can at PCC. [Edit: now also at Top Food/Larry's and a bit more reasonably priced there at 1.25/can. And I'll rescind a little of what I said earlier disparaging the FT, interestingly, in a can, the stuff tastes better than in the bottle!]

I often end up going with imports. My favorite there is Bitburger, 1.12/can for a tallboy [Trader Joes]. Heineken, Guinness and Boddingtons all good backups, the latter two a little problematic because the draft dinguses within make the can hard to flatten.

Hopefully the good beer in a can trend will keep spreading. If nothing else it's dopey to be shipping heavy glass bottles, which are actually worse at keeping beer fresh, hundreds/thousands of miles across country.

Beer being a subject near and dear to my heart and belly, trader joes has some dutch lagers that are 1.00 a can (16 oz. tall boys), and are quite refreshing, a la bitburger.

liquids are definitely heavier than dry vegetative matter, in terms of joy o meter refreshment calculations

Thanks for the heads up on the Oskar brew in a can. I'll keep my eye out for the stuff, it sounds like my kind of beer.
