Yes, it's in cans. Dale's Pale Ale from Colorado started this trend. Hikers, fishermen, etc. need good beer, too! (Also cans would be cheaper out here than bottles.)

And yes, there's local beer. This is a welcome new development in the past three-plus years since I've been away!

edit: And yes, I have some in the fridge, in my Honolulu hotel room. I'm here through next Saturday the 29th!
