You might be asking why feature canned beer? Here's what OnTapOnline.com has to say!

Today, there are 179 craft breweries in the United States canning beer, according to the Brewers Association in Boulder, Colo.  Brewers and beer lovers appreciate the fact that cans are lighter and more compact than bottles, reducing shipping costs. They won’t shatter into a thousand pieces if dropped, so they’re welcome in places like beaches and sports stadiums where glass is forbidden. And doing away with the heavy lifting and embarrassing clanking after a weekend get together on the hazy morning trash run to the dumpster will never be missed thanks to cans!

Best of all, they’re completely opaque, shutting out that great enemy of beer, light. Light breaks down chemical compounds and gives your favorite brew a foul, skunk-funk aroma.

Critics of cans claim they give beer a metallic taste. Sure, if your drink directly from the can and press your lips against the lid. But please tell me you don’t really do that…please. In fact, today’s aluminum cans have a thin but durable BPA-free plastic lining that keeps the beer from contact with the metal. Pour the beer into a glass and it will taste, somewhat surprisingly, perfect.
