Brickway Brewery: Session Series IPL

As I was enjoying a delicious craft beer from a can the other day, a co-worker expressed surprise that I was drinking beer from a can - so ingrained is the idea that "good beer" only comes in bottles. But more and more new breweries are using cans. Canning has not only become cheaper than bottling, but the can protects the beer from harmful UV radiation, which "skunks" the beer. Brickway's IPL is a fine session beer, hoppy enough to be interesting, yet with a low enough ABV to make multiple trips to the trough possible. It shows quite a bit of flavor for a lager, while still retaining the crispness and drinkability that one would expect from one. There's some nice bready flavor with some subtle floral notes. Pretty cool for a hot summer day.
