A superb camping beer in a great camping container – Beltian White

I found a half rack of Harvest Moon Brewing Company’s Beltian White in cans at Worden’s Market the other day, and I figured it would be the perfect camping beer.

Imbibe Magazine released a list of the 10-best canned beers for the holiday weekend. I would contend they left off a few deserving breweries. Anyway, read the list for yourself here, and then tell me which beers you’d like to see added to the list. Remember, canned beers only here.

Craft brewers are writing the history of beer the way they want to

This Bon Appetit article on canned craft beer is a great example of how craft brewers, especially those in the Rocky Mountain West, are writing the history of beer they way they want to. Sometimes you have to take tradition and history and stuff it in a bottle and send it out to sea. Canning [...]

Canned craft beer choices increasing – Let’s just hope there is a floating season this year

Provided we get some more snow to actually have a floating season this summer, the possibilities for river-friendly beer is overwhelming all of a sudden. Between the likes of New Belgium, Big Sky and now Anderson Valley Brewing Co., there is a sudden surge in craft brews available in cans.
I’ve already said my bit about [...]

Breaking Beer News!

So we’ve all heard about the rumor that Kettlehouse Brewing Co. would be putting Eddie Out Pale Ale in cans. We’ve waited patiently through a two-year-long process of building the North Side brewery. We’ve waited through snow storms and the heat of a Montana July. Several in fact.
And now, I can say that with my [...]
