Like it in the can? Sierra Nevada to join the ranks of canning craft brews.

Just showed up on a beerblog on facebook.

Sierra Nevada to begin canning beer
Tailgaters and campers rejoice, great news from Sierra Nevada: later this year, it’s going to be easier and lighter to take their beer with you.
Our canning line should be in the building near July 4. It will be a couple of moths to get it up and running, but should start seeing Pale Ale in cans in late 2011.
We’re on the fence about what other beers to release, but I think we’ll have a couple of different brews available.
Cans will only be a small part of our output, but we’re excited to see how they’re received.
There are so many places where you can’t or won’t bring glass…up here in the foothills it just doesn’t make a lot of sense to bring a bunch of bottles with you in your backpack! This is really the reason we’re going for this.

Awesome, I was surprised to see how many can offerings were on the shelf when I was at Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati last weekend. I stick to singles when I get the chance to go there so I didn't pick any up, but I hope to see it more in my town. I'm sure we'll have the SNPA in cans. Which is great because it is always my go to for camping.

Starr Hill is now canning their Festie, and their Northern Lights IPA. I can't wait to find it locally!
Nothing has been wrong with cans since the early 90s.

"Everyone likes it in the can"
Great news. Now if they could only figure out how to do homebrew canning.

That's good news. It'd be great if Torpedo also made it into the can lineup

Woot, now we can build craft beeramids, while camping. Of course it's gonna cost a little more.

Sorry, but I don't like 99.995% of my brew from a can. The ONLY exception is Guinness, and the other Irish brews that use the nitrogen widget inside the cans. The bottled version of Guinness just sucks (IMO)...
I just hope they don't switch entire brews over to just cans. Although, I probably won't care since I'm not buying beer at this point.
