So I'm going to a PSU game saturday. I'm able to bring some bottled homebrew but if I end up in the grass parking area I need cans. So I'll be swinging by the distributor to get a case of something.
Help me pick a canned beer....

Not sure on any particular brand, but I'd take an IPA. That's just me though :dunno:.

Dude I drink all styles. Sours, malty stouts/porters, IPAs, lagered beers. I am leaning towards Old Chub. How fast/how many isn't an issue. If I go to fast or start to get too many I recognize I need to slow it up and switch to water. So quantity and speed is not an issue.
sorry, didn't see there was a poll up there. Only one of those I've had is the Oskar Blues Dales Pale Ale, and I can see drinking that one at a tailgater pretty easily....so that's my only choice of a vote.
It was very good IMO. Not amazing, but certainly something you could drink a bunch of, and enjoy at the same time.

Oskar Blues is good....there are a few Belgian wheat beers you could get too, also, there is Butternut who have a few good canned beers. Though they aren't rated that great, they are are better than their ratings IMO.
However, I think Oskar Blues has cornered the market here, for now. Go with those.

Although, now that I see the poll and think about it...if it's chilly out the Oktoberfest could prove very nice.

They're like $90 a case. Unfortunately here in PA there's no splitting a case up. The damn grocery store that carries six packs because they have a restaurant don't carry those beers. I'd end up paying like $25 for a six of either of those brews. I'm seriously leaning towards Old Chub the more I think about the homebrews I have. I have some Ayinger Ofest, a whole case of IPA homebrew (clone of two hearted), wit with and with out chamomile and some blond ale.
I do not not have something malty like old chub. Plus it might be the most neutral. However when I'm in the store if they have some 21a Brews I might be torn.
I'm going to drop the dog off at the kennel and grab my beer.
Well the distributor made my choice easy they ran out of the 21a Brew Free or Die IPA yesterday. So I came home with a case of Old Chub. I'll load the cooler up with some IPA, O'fest, and Wit bottles and also some cans of the Old Chub.
What's better than an Old Chub with college co-eds walking around?
As I do love a great micro beer fosho! What the heck happened to good ol' PBR? That's some tailgating love imho.:grin:
I drank one tonight with a LFD Salomon Maduro. I like the Old Chub and even made a beer bread with one. It's got a good malty flavor slightly smokey and really smooth.

Learning from the best
I know this is a little late but I went with Oscar Blues Pale Ale. Always a good choice and they make the best canned beer I've ever had. Gubna is a good one too but a bit pricey. A friend had both 21st amendment beers the other weekend and I tried both.... gross
What was gross about the 21a beers? I was actually looking forward to trying one. My friend that works at the distributor was talking them up and she likes IPAs like my wife and I do.
