My top 5 canned craft beers

The breweries in the US are producing more and more quality beers on a can. And people are getting to understand that a beer on a can is just not a poor macro beer like a bud or similar.

My US-canned beer experience is still not so big but it is increasing so much lately that I have decided to create a top list. So here is my contribution;

1. Oskar Blues Ten Fidy Imperial Stout
2. Oskar Blues Dale's Pale Ale
3. Maui Brewing Big Swell IPA
4. Butternuts Snapperhead IPA
5. 21st Amendment IPA

Removed and added 2 beers, the 21st IPA and the great IPA from Maui.

Seems the Darkness from Surly as a canned version was only in my dreams (but a good one).

So I have reordered and put in the IPA from Butternuts that I am 100% sure is a canned beer and something I have sampled a couple of times over at my local pub. They also has a pale ale in the form of "Pork Slap"!
