Sure!...A saison in can that I can take to the pool? Sure! If Oskar Blues can put an Imperial Stout and a Double IPA in a can, I see no reason why Linus can't do the same with Sue and the Rye Saison. Most beer geeks know the benefits of cans. <br /><br />As far as the Yazooligans, they will buy the beer no matter what. Have you seen the lines at the tap room? They don't seem like the finicky type.Smittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13338526744402345565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194407212968177131.post-55922106580455783182010-07-14T07:05:41.756-07:002010-07-14T07:05:41.756-07:00DW makes a good point.

After all, the only legitimate argument against cans is their reputation, although that seems to be changing. After all Oskar Blues seems to be REALLY successful and they can everything, even the imperial stout. The brewery also maintains a rep for quality beer geek beer despite canning.<br /><br />Of course, since many breweries do special bottlings in 750s for their fancier styles, they could still can most of the beer and do something special for the beers that needed it for marketing reasons.<br /><br />I've actually done formal blind tastings in the past and no one has ever been able to identify the canned version. Actually, the canned version often scored higher. Besides, like you said, the beer never touches the metal because the metal is lined.<br /><br />If I were Yazoo, I'd work up some advertising pushing the beer as a friend of the outdoors. I take Oskar Blues beer backpacking with me sometimes because the can can be crushed and packed out much more easily than a bottle. It may even be a greener option, but that I don't know for sure. Anyway, it could be a great way to distinguish the brand.Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05768654376657640904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194407212968177131.post-34944807609147457972010-07-14T04:34:45.424-07:002010-07-14T04:34:45.424-07:00Cans for sure.
