just got back from a long weekend camping in the Adirondacks... we brought 3 Oskar Blues brews... Dales Pale Ale, Gordon, and Momas Lil Pils... all excellent.. plus we had Brooklyn Brewing Ale which is good stuff as well, and harpoon IPA also in cans.... 3-4 yrs ago we only had good Canadien beer (Molsen) in cans.

Just picked up harpoon summer and Brooklyn summer in cans. They also had magic hat ipa and a couple micro brews is never heard of.

Harpoon is definitely pushing the canned ipa hard right now.

Sixpoint Brewery,out of Brooklyn,is starting to release some of their craft brews in cans in the Boston area. Their Bengali Tiger IPA is a solid brew Bengali Tiger - Sixpoint - Brooklyn, NY - BeerAdvocate

Now this has me interested. Anyone tried the Harpoon's canned IPA?

good beer had it for the first time today, 4pak 16oz cans $9.99, could be a summer staple

Bottled tastes better for some reason. I think it keeps better on the long term. I brew my own and have drank some beers 3 years later that got lost and they tasted amazing with no metallic or plastic tastes mixed in.

Had some canned Harpoon Summer while watching the B's game tonight. Not bad at all. I'm not a big Harpoon drinker, but it's pretty good.

Agree completely on both counts. Got some more of it and a couple of their others that I enjoy...

nice how do u like the sweet action ive only had it on tap it was good but a little to sweet(they make a double and a triple:err:) and whats the crisp all about

I agree on the sweet action,but it was a nice change after a couple of tigers. Would like to try the double and triple. The crisp is a pilsner. Very light,nice aroma with just a touch of malt to it. I would recommend it if you like that style or want something light..I could enjoy these three all summer.

Gave this a try this past weekend.....Not Bad, its not nearly as good as the Beerworks Watermelon Ale....but it wasn't bad.

Dales pale Ale by Oskar Blues in CO. Cisco brewery out of ACK cans their Whales Tale also.

sad fact about Belhaven
 

I went and bought a six pack of one of my most favorite beers
that being Belhaven scottish ale brewed since 1541

and it has changed .....not only was it in a smaller and clear bottle
it no longer has the "kick" it used to have
and i was very disappointed... after loving
an occasional six pack for 35 years
i am moving on...

how's that heineken dark in a can?

Newcastle nut brown is a good beer that comes in cans.

I prefer beer in dark brown glass bottles.

I've bought Newcastle in cans twice this year and both times found it lacking body...

Right now drinking a Wittekerke...one of the best Wit's out there. Basswipe, they have it at Allens and I think you'd love it if you haven't already tried it.

I know what you mean I have felt the same on some occasions. I wonder why sometimes is full bodied and others not. I am always suspicious they the outside portion of the poour spout is not totally clean. A trace of oil will totally flop the body of a beer.

Beer snob.....

Good stuff

yeah exactly.... what i was trying to say :btu:

it lacked body...McEwans was a little too syrup-y i thought
but it kicked butt and you'd be slurring your words in no time

but now, the Belhaven tasted like Newcastle to me...
goes down like coors... swill

didn't know the right term but , + thanks Spence
yes the "Body" it once had..... has vanished.... :hs: way sad

seems like every good beer is moving towards the "cheap" side

My mother got me one of those Heineken Beer-Tenders for X-Mas....not a Heineken fan....but it also takes the mini kegs of Newcastle....which is really good on tap through this

Draft??? Hmmmm......no!:yak:

It's the best way to have beer. You just need to go to a place that knows what they're doing and clean their lines often and sell a lot of beer, so the same tapped keg isn't sitting around for weeks. There's a definite trend towards canned beer though, as many micros are embracing this format.

your Mom is Like ............ "cool" heh heh heh

Nice! If you keep your eyes peeled there are many beers available in those kegs. Dinkel Acker comes to mind. Newcastle does sound delicious though!
