So now that it's outdoors recreation season, my thoughts turn to Good Beer What Is Available In Cans. For my river trips and mtb camping, I go with New Belgium Fat Tire and Ska ESB as base "cheap" beers (okay, a six of Tecate also, which used to be our river trip standby, and we still like it for something lighter), along with Santa Fe Octoberfest (I'm going to try their Irish Red Ale and Java Stout this year) and Anderson Valley Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout for treats.
Any recommendations for delicious beer available in cans? As you can probably tell I tend to the darker/maltier rather than the hoppier side of things, though for you hops fans I can recommend Ska Modus Hoperandi.
Feel free to rhapsodize over your favorites in comments. I'm especially interested in cans available in Colorado.

You probably have more choices out in CO than I do. You'll have to let us know if you find anything particularly noteworthy.

Yeah, CO is pretty good for beer. And that's not even counting our SIX local craft/micro/brewpubs here in Durango...
