I noticed that, this year in Tahoe, serving gourmet beers (read, not Coor's light) in cans was hip. They were able to perfectly illustrate the beers' logos on tin rather than paper. It made for a killer break-time buzz that was refreshing and minimal in the hand.
2012 - the year of the Sierra Nevada Torpedo Brew. What a lovely surprise to see this in (huge) can at Alpine Meadows.
