I've noticed that canned beer is making something of a comeback.

For a long time, my main experience with canned beer involved drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon in college. This stuff is awful, although my feelings about PBR might be strongly influenced by the fact that it was sort of a beer of last resort, and we typically ended up drinking it long after we should have stopped drinking beer altogether.

More recently, I've enjoyed the occasional can of Utica Club, which is sold at one of my favorite Albany bars, as well as Miller Lite, which my landlord keeps stocked in her fridge.

Now Esquire has posted an item ranking the "best canned beers to drink now." Number one on the list is Dale's Pale Ale, which I've had on a few occasions and which comes from Oskar Blues, a brewery that has been canning all of its beers since 2002.
