    Let me take a guess, glass aging would give all those wonderful hops a chance to fade thereby negating this beer's hopiliousness

    Oskar Blues Old Chub. Smoky, malty goodness. I haven't had Ten Fidy so can't attest to it.

    I haven't tried SNPA out of the can yet, though it's available here. That may be my first warm weather purchase.

    Most definitely Heady Topper! Since I basically just have to walk across the street to get it, this beer has become my go to beer...lol!

    I'll beat it some more. Those two get my vote. I'll add SN Torpedo for it's year-round status and wide distribution.

    If all I could drink was cans, those would be my three lifesavers!

    In an attempt not to repeat whats already been said, I'm going with upslope happy camper and ska's modus hoperandi.

    Can I get some love for some Maui Brewing? Coconut Porter, Big Swell IPA, Mana Wheat and an occasional collaboration beer are usually pretty easy to find here in MD and we didn't have issue in CO finding them either.

    Nice new word. Easy to read and comprehend but difficult to pronounce.

    Personally don't like Buffalo Sweat, but I'll mention 8-Bit again. Oasis is decent, too, but 8-Bit is a truly fantastic APA.

    Oh, I wanted it all, but my budget said pick two. So I grabbed those two. Next time I go, I plan on picking up others in the Tallgrass line. Halcyon was enough to keep me interested in their beers. The Schlafly's APA was pretty decent as well, but not it's not in cans, so I shouldn't really mention it here.

    Surly Abrasive has to be right near the top of this list.

    Nothing beats an ice cold Barrel Aged Olde English 800...and by barrel aged I mean the big beat up Rubbermaid trash can full of ice used to age it sitting by the front door of the gas station near my house.

    In all seriousness, it's hard to beat some Dales Pale Ale...finally had a Sixpoint Bengali the other day as it is relatively new to Texas, pretty tasty

    Heady Topper and Abrasive are far and away the bet stuff available in a can.

    I gotta say a fresh Deviant Dales IPA is the best canned beer I've had. You get 16oz too, so its a little bonus! It's one of my go to IPA's and readily available in my area. I'm sure I'm in the minority, but Ten Fidy is just ok to me.

    Tie for me between Surly Wet and Abrasive. Have not had Heady Topper yet to see where it stacks up.

    I really like Ten Fidy and I'm sure Heady is hype worthy, but I haven't had the pleasure yet, so I'm gonna say Revolution Anti-Hero. It's basically become my go to session beer.

    Here in Chicago, Daisy Cutter is probably the best canned beer. That or Anti- Hero from Revolution.

    Another couple to add - but a little off the grid for most:
    Westbrook IPA and Westbrook White Thai

    Let me throw out a plus on Double Daisy Cutter, this one is a monster of bitter goodness.

    Never had Heady Topper, so I'll have to go by what I've tried (that I can think of right now):

    Oskar Blues Ten Fidy
    Southern Star Buried Hatchet Stout
    21st Amendment Back In Black
    Surly Furious
    Great River Redband Stout

    I am a big fan of Tallgrass 8-Bit.... If it is not just fresh but within 3 months it has a whole ton of flavor and for the ABV for a APA it can not be beat imo....!!!! GET SOME;)
