Anyone tried these?  Been drinking them the last few weeks and they are great.  Great taste and easy drinking.

On a more serious note, I don't normally drink hard ciders. Sometimes I'll buy a large bottle around the fall to bring to an event.

We have a couple cans in our fridge actually.  My wife was on a Cider kick that lasted a couple years and got to be a bit of a cider snob.  Her favorite is Magners (http://www.magners.com/) but its not always available.

That said, this summer (http://www.narragansettbeer.com/beers/dels-shandy) has been all about (https://leinie.com/Beers.aspx#summershandy) the Shandy (http://www.harpoonbrewery.com/beer/345830/ufo-big-squeeze-shandy)!

Canning has come a long way recently and lot of nicer breweries are canning some of their stuff.  It's great.

I generally buy bottles but she picked those two cans up in a connivence store last weekend on our trip back from Virginia... it was sort of a novelty

To Chee'z point though, there are a couple really nice local brews that come in cans: http://www.courant.com/business/hc-pictures-iron-heart-canning-20140617-008,0,5092240.photo

The #1 brewery on this list (Founders) has two of its flagship beers in cans.  #5 does as well.

I like hard ciders... had one not too long ago at a restaurant downtown but can't remember the name of it.  It was in a can (served in a glass).

Love the stuff.  Great for cooking as well.  I found it long before it got crazy popular.
