    Little of topic but...
    Heady topper, abrasive, furious, jai alai, snake handler all of 21st admendment and sixpoint to name a few...

    Cans allow no light penetration, easier transport from non-glass breakage and less skunking to hops. I dont know why more brewerys arent canning, besides cost of course.

    If i know a beer is great, the new packaging/rebranding will not detour me from buying it in plastic/cans.

    When I go camping (before I started making my own) I would go searching for plastic, most provincial parks around here don't allow cans or bottles. Plus glass is heavy and glass and cans need to be hauled back out where as plastic can be burned.
