It’s the great summer debate: Bud vs. Miller?
They might not be the first beers you pick, but on a hot summer day at an outdoor party, you’re likely to pick up a cheap tall boy to sip to keep cool. Here’s one faceoff between the canned beer kings.
What’s your favorite cheap beer to drink in tallboys/cans during the summer?

Sixpoint solidifies their lead as the brewers to beat with the release of Apollo in 2012, just in time for summer beer season. I’ve had a few of these already, and even my friends who usually avoid craft beer are hooked…

Picked up a 4-pack, expecting to be delighted by my first taste of Sixpoint’s American Pale Wheat Ale. Little did I know that those Brooklyn brewboys abandoned that style in favor of a Kristalweizen (which, after tasting, I can only assume is German for “brewed with unicorn tears & angel sweat”).
From the grassy, sweet, banana-bubblegum nose to the smooth, lemon-clove taste and the crisp dry finish, this was simply a great, great exbeerience.

It is only too appropriate that the brewery responsible for Deviant Dale’s shares it’s initials with two simple words: Outstanding. Beer.
I’ll be the first to admit, as some of you may recall, that I’ve had my share of doubts concerning those Oskar Blues folks. After underwhelming, though not altogether unenjoyable, experiences with Gubna & Dale’s Pale, I was pleasantly surprised by their Imperial Red, G’Knight; but still far from ready to hop on the beer bandwagon & proclaim OB the best thing to happen to canned beer since pop tops.
Then along comes Deviant Dale’s and… Wow. Deep golden-amber pour with a finger of thick, frothy head. That first inhale? Mmmm - loads & loads of piney, citrusy, grassy hops. Those wonderfully hoppy notes stayed right there in the taste as well, every deliciously resiny drop. Delicate lacing adorned the glass from top to bottom, each ring evidence of my pausing just long enough to come up for air.
This may not be my favorite canned craft beer, but it’s definitely a welcome addition to my top five. My hat’s off to you, Oskar, for making me a Blues-liever.
I’ve got one more of these in my fridge, and it won’t last much longer. This 7th beer in Sixpoint Brewery’s Mad Scientist series truly lives up to its name as a resonating Double IPA flavor, and enough floral hops that it’s nearly yellow-green in color. It’s a good reminder that tasty beers can come in tiny (12 oz) packages.

I have the same reaction to beer in a can. If it is coming from a metal housing…then I (snobbishly) assume it is not going to be very good.James Fallows, writing in The Atlantic about his distaste for canned beer, and how he recently overcame his prejudice after discovering Dale’s Pale Ale.

Besides brewing tasty beers, there are lots of other choices a brewery can make that impacts not just the beers we choose but how we enjoy them. Especially when we’re trying new beers, marketers have an opportunity to use original branding to help their beer stand out on the refrigerator case. But there are a number of choices beyond the label, like what kinds of bottles or cans to use, that can also effect the taste. On Quora, here are some answers from beer lovers about what makes a great brand great; what characteristics do you think help make good beer into a memorable brewery brand?
