Good canned beer

Yes, an oxymoron I know. Besides guiness and boddington's, what are some tolerable beers in cans (if any)? I'm going to be in the desert for a week and would like to minimize waste volume. I can drink a lot of beer and bottles take up the same space full or empty.

Note: Your mickey's ice and budwieser comments are really funny, make as much of them as possible. C'mon this is SERIOUS!!!!! HELP!!!!

The best beer I've found in cans is Young's. I've also seen Newcastle in cans (I think it's better that way, myself) and Bavik Witbier in can's at Trader Joe's. The Witbier is a nice summer beer...

I dunno if you can get it in cans but Negro Modelo is good, I say go for PBR is you can't get Negro Modelo in a can.

Portland Brewing sells McTarnahans in cans. That's about as good as it gets. May be hard to find in your neck of the woods though.

Sapporo is good.

Yes but very little that comes in cans is beer.

Thanks guys. I'll check Trader Joes for the Bavik. I forgot about Sapporo, that's good desert water. Forgot about Youngs too. And yes the Keg is coming but this is for Burning Man so I give that thing about 30 minutes before it's done. You guys rule with the quick responses. Much appreciated.

F*cken hell Acadian, why did you have to make me look at that site. Not only is Japanese beer cheaper in America but the Australian beer is as well. :( :( Lucky I'm drinkin' freebies tonight. :)
but they are probably nothing like the beers in Japan and Australia - just speculating since I've never been to those places. But I know for a fact that (an example) the Stella Artois you buy here in US stores is different than the one in the UK.

Looks the same, same bottles......try the Coopers a very nice drop indeed, best of the Aussie beers by a long shot.
