I'll be going to an annual guys weekend beach trip with my close buddies in two weeks. What are some of the best canned craft beers you've come across. My goal is to able to bring more great beer and cans are easier to transport/store than bottles.
Best canned crafts?

You can't go wrong with Sierra nevada. 21st amendment has some good beers in cans if you have access to them.

Pretty much anything from Oskar Blues or Caldera.

Brewery Vivant from grand rapids is making some fine beer in cans. I particularly enjoyed their Big Red Coq. Ha.
+1.
Caldera Pale Ale is excellent, one of my favorite of the style.
And Oskar Blues' "Momma's Little Yella Pils" is a great craft pilsner as well.

21st amendment! I love their Hop Crisis IIPA
Where are you from? Around here, Butternuts cans some great beers and Blue Point just started putting out cans too.

I second Tallgrass. Albeit a little expensive if you are just going on a beach trip.
Sierra Nevada has good stuff in cans.
New Belgium puts Fat Tire and something else in a can.
Leinenkuckledugals has Summer Shandy in a can.
Thing to think about is you will be on a beach. Don't get anything heavy as they just don't really go that well in the heat.

Upslope makes some good stuff. I don't honestly think I've had a bad craft beer in a can. They're all good.
Also Ska. Their modus hoperandi is killer.

Most canned craft beer is likely to be good in my experience. It stores well, and the breweries that can their beer are usually top notch. There are some notable exceptions IMHO, but this thread is about the good stuff. A few of my favorites have already been mentioned - Oskar Blues and Ska top my list.

The fact that Surly hasn't been named is crazy! Furious and Abrasive might be the best beers ever canned. There... I said it.

Not sure which suburbs you're in, but Sly Fox in phoenixville makes great beers and cans all of them. Phoenix pale ale and pike land pils are my favorites
Definitely 21st amendment, and I have recently had some rockin' Six Point beers that come in 16oz cans.
Yeah you did! :0
It was my favorite too! Too bad that stuff is probably not available out there. I just picked up a 4-pack of Triomphe to take to the UP with me. The FarmHand is nice also but still better on tap.
Can't go wrong with Dale's Pale Ale, especially for a beach trip. Such a drinkable beer, so well-balanced, good hop character but without being overwheming... one of my favorite beers, and one that you can drink a lot of and still enjoy.
not cans, they're "nano-kegs"
haha. definitely second Sixpoint. awesome stuff. Resin is actually only a 12oz can (because it's 103 IBU or something) but it's amazing. Crisp or Apollo might be more "beach appropriate" though.
Blue Point Toasted Lager is a good one too.

+1!!! Both of these are my most favorite canned brews! I live in SD, so I can't get it easily, but I'm going home (mpls) in a few weeks and plan to grab a case or so. Also, I've heard that Oskar Blues makes some damn good beer, and recently discovered I can acquire it in WI...Looks like I'll be making a beer pilgrimage to Hudson when I come back! haha

Quite the fail to not mention where you are going. This discussion is hardly helpful to you if you can't access the beers mentioned.
Furious is awesome but so minimally distributed.
If you are going to SC get Westbrook ipa or even white thai(wit with lemongrass among other things)
Modus hoperendi and Avery ipa both good and widely available

Deviant Dales in a tall boy, or Tecate when floating in normal river flow (from Cheyenne, WY).
