Therein lies the problem. A LOT of what I drink doesn't come in cans. Don't get me wrong, I'm not really caring what it is that you like and choose to drink. I'm just choosy about my own preferences, and I'll support the local crafts.
Yeah, that has been the historic issue with beer at Roo. A good canned beer is apparently hard to find. I may have to hit up the local beer market to see if they can help.
Al's go to is usually Miller Lite, but I'm seeing less and less of it since we've been dating. hehehehe. We always have Yuengling Light in the fridge and anything from Miller Lite to Blue Moon to Dos Perros to Yuengling on tap. When I go grocery shopping I buy him Shock Top or Blue Moon or I'll make my own six pack. Switch things up.
Just got a six pack of the can conditioned Sierra Nevada. It's great, no surprises there. I never bring the two case max, but I think I might have to make an exception this year. I went through the six without realizing it in a couple of hours.

And clearly you aren't a rapist (I hope) but the way you pop into any thread where a woman happens to be lamenting her lack of ride to Bonnaroo and tell them to come hop on your bus sounds extremely rapey.

Yeah, I'll absolutely be stocking up on the Yuengling before and after Roo. Can't get it around here. My croo and I have an arrangement where we bring other beers we can't get in our area for a swap.
If anyone's interested in being adventerous, 21st amendment does a bunch of canned beers. In preparation for Roo I went and got 6 different brews by them. I'd recommend the Hop Crisis (Imperial IPA) or the Bitter American (an APA). The former has a little too high of an ABV for me to bring it to Roo, but it's delicious. The Bitter American was sessionable, crisp, and had a great balance of malt and hops. They also have a Black IPA which was alright, I'll probably bring one or two just to mix it up. I love the Black IPA style, but it's not a very good example of one in all honesty.

I have to jump on the Yuengling bandwagon too. It sucks that we don't have it here in Texas. But, we do have Ziegenbock though I'm not sure if it comes in cans.
Shock Top is ok for what it is. I'll still prefer a proper craft beer over something created by Anheuser-Busch to try and tap into the craft beer market. Still, live and let live.
What's a good canned Belgian White? I will try to locate around here.
I know Fat Tire in a can has been mentioned here before but, when I was in the beer store yesterday I saw a 4 pack of Fat Tire pints in a can. Anyone else ever see this? I instantly flashed into a Roo dream and imagined myself being more inebriated than ever before there. New Belgium also had a 4 pack of pints for their Shift beer(which I had never seen). I believe it is a pale lager. I got that and it was really good. Strong hop flavor but really smooth with a good finish. Also, they are building a brewery in Asheville, NC can you say dream job? You get a beer everyday after your shift is over.
Flying Dog just started canning in the past couple weeks, so I'll probably bring a 6er of whatever the best beer they can is. Raging biznatch might be too heavy for Roo though... lol

Sixpoint Brewery's Resin IPA. One of the top 10 IPA I've ever had. It's expensive. Comes in 4-12 oz. packs and is ~$10, but if you love IPA see if you can find it.

I love Shock Top and have tried the Belgian White in the can but wasn't a big fan. It was a bit skunky for my taste. The Shock Top I.P.A. is freakin awesome but can't get that in cans. I tried Starr Hill Northern Lights and it was pretty good. Not sure what variety of Roo Brews I will be taking with me this year. Tough choices.

He's like you made an über troll by taking the worst parts of me (the utter disregard for other people's opinions), Phi (cluttering up threads with memes and adding nothing to a discussion) and Jess (an apparent belief that everyone else is the problem and/or arrogance without self awareness).
I buy the Light for the house, though I'll drink the original lager when out.
