Designer Canned Beer

If I were to tell you that real women drink beer from a can, does your little snobby beer nose crinkle just a little? Mine TOTALLY does because good craft beers don't come in cans. You're probably drinking PBR right? No offence to PBR-I've been known to enjoy me an ice cold one from time to time. Cans are lighter creating a smaller environmental footprint if that makes you feel a little better about opting for this container. Besides, you can drink our of a can on beaches and rivers for summer, places where glass is typically shunned.

But good quality beer doesn't come encased in metal, right? Like screw top wine, the beer industry is changing with the times. There are about 80 craft breweries right now in the US that are selling canned beer with 20 more in the pipes. 80% of the states are represented but Colorado takes the award for having 16 breweries with cans (lots of fishing folk there that appreciate hanging their beer in the river to staw cold) and California (WooHooo!) chimes in with 7.

For a detailed list by the guys who actually took the time to research and put this all together, please go to BeerNews.org here. In the meantime, don't judge the can so quickly anymore. It is very possible for Real Women to drink real beer from the can.
