Canned Goods: Microbrews Embrace Glass-Bottle Alternative

Massachusetts microbreweries have embraced the can in their summer beer offerings.

Cans are all the rage in the microbrew beer world this summer, according to Aaron Aykanian at the Vin Bin.

"When all those people saw Sam Adams was doing it, everyone started doing it," said Aykanian who is the Vin Bin's beverage director and manager of the Hopkinton store.

Summer is the time for canned beer, he said, whether it is because it makes a six pack lighter for hiking or lets you have a delicious beer by the pool. With companies like Sam Adams paving the way, Massachusetts breweries such as Berkshire Brewing and Wachusett Brewery are now offering their beers in cans.
