Ah, Bengali Tiger from Sixpoint... only in Brooklyn would they put a great beer in a can just to mess with you. Definitely can't taste the can though, so I suppose I can't be too irate at their beer storage choices... and since light is the enemy of taste, an aluminum shield might make sense... but I tend to think this choice was made more for ironic (note: does not contain any actual irony) reasons than flavor.
Spend any amount of time in Minnesota and you'll be used to it. Surly's exclusively cans except for their big limited releases, and they're one of the best breweries in the country. More and more good beer's in cans these days.
ReplyDeleteSixpoint's OK - if you're in a Brooklyn bodega (the hipster's natural habitat), it's a fine choice.
