Nice Cans!

7/3/2011

We need more craft beer in cans in Florida!  According to craftcans.com there are currently 336 craft brewed canned beers from 131 breweries in the United States.  There are no craft breweries in Florida that produce cans at this time.  Hopefully soon though.  In the meantime, check out www.craftcans.com and join the "Canned Beer Revolution" .  Its a website devoted completely to craft beer that's sold in a can.
