Huge Cans

Haha, grow up, they are actual metal cans. But seriously, from the New Age Old Questions file: "Why are these cans so tall?"

Have you seen these tallboy giant cans from Oskar Blues? Dale's Pale Ale and Mama's Little Yella Pils in 19oz cans that are too tall for your post-ironic slap-on can koozie? WHY ARE THEY SO TALL? 19.2 ounces is an arbitrary number! It's not even a round number of milliliters! They claim it's an "Imperial Pint" from "overseas." I refuse to accept that, for the purposes of this blog post's obstinate incredulity. So, ahem: Don't tread on me, and don't tread on my normal sized cans (unless they're empty and you're going to recycle them).

Anyway, the beer is delicious and Belmont Station is doing a tasting tonight from 5:00 - 8:00pm. If you buy two, they probably won't tell you why it comes in 19.2oz servings, but they will at least give you free koozie that fits those huge, beautiful cans.

Grow up, seriously.
