5 excellent canned beers for a camping weekend
Hi Steemians,
I have to admit that I have been taking terrible canned pilsners to festival campings for way too many years. The reason? I just thought that nearly all canned beers were horrible anyway.
So I just went for cheap cans in the supermarket to provide myself with the necessary alcoholic supplies for those magical camping moments.
Until I discovered that there were actually some really good canned beers. Here is a top 5 you should definitely consider for your next camping weekend:
5) Rodenbach
The Flemish red brown classic Rodenbach is also available in cans. And I must say that magical mix between sweet fruits with a sour undertone remains unharmed. Even when you have to deal with your usual beer cooling issues after a few days of camping, Rodenbach will still offer you a refreshing drink. So you might want to take some with you.
4) Goose Island IPA
This IPA is your fresh and bitter alternative for those regular canned beers. Not one to drink for the entire weekend, but you definitely want to take a few of these with you to enjoy if you want to switch to something really tasty.
3) Caldera IPA
This one from Oregon is another great IPA that tastes very good from a can. I would even say I enjoyed it less on that one time that I poured it into a glass first. It just works so well. This is definitely one that ends up in my backpack for every festival weekend.
2) Summer of '17
I recently tasted this hoppy wheat ale of the Dutch brewery "Brouwerij De Molen" and I was absolutely stunned. A really profound taste, yet still a light beer to drink. I had it at the annual beer festival in Ghent while I was sitting on a terrace between the trees. It just works for a Summer holiday.
1) Black Eyed King Imp, Vietnamese Coffee Edition
This one by Brewdog is probably the best beer I ever had from a can. I know that stout beers are a bit "love them or hate them" and I am definitely a guy who loves them. As interesting and accurate as the name sounds, so is the taste. You have those nice roasted coffee tones but not like you would have them in many similar stouts.
It is different, yet excellent. This would probably even make it to my overall top 5 of stout beers in general. If you want to drink good stuff out there in the nature: this is your pick!

I love the rise of a cans, so many advantages over glass bottles, from ease, to safety to environmental to the most important - it's better for the beers. As for the best, IPA's all the way so anything from the Stone range, Go to and Ripper both work for outdoorsy festival type going.
Thanks for the input. I'll try to find those some time. :-)

Been planning to participate in the challenge. Just need to pick up a bottle from the beer I want to feature in my story. ;-)
The can has certainly made a comeback in Chicago and in the USA...
Cool to see that Goose Island made it your way to Belgium.
Cheers, mate!
Yeah, you can buy quality canned beers in most Belgian beer stores these days. Many American beers to be found. Still have a lot of those to taste. (When I go camping, that is).
