How about Olympia? Worst beer I have ever had the pleasure of drinking.

In states like Michigan where they require a deposit it's getting really hard to return them and get your ten cents back. With C19 stores have an excuse to make returning them harder including having limits to how many you can return. It's not uncommon to show up to the store only to have them announce "oh we've reached our limit for the day."

This can't be helping matters

The shortage appears to be due to a rising demand for drinks in cans. That's fueled in large part by the coronavirus: People are drinking more in their homes than at bars and restaurants during the pandemic. Much of what they drink at home comes in cans.Jul 29, 2020

BUT...BUT...TRUMP!!!!!

MY FAMILY OWNS A DISTRIBUTORSHIP IN THE BEVERAGE BUSINESS...CAN MANUFACTURERS WERE NOT DEEMED ESSENTIAL AND FORCED TO CLOSE...THEREFORE...SHORTAGE

Ball did not shutdown can production because they were not deemed 'essential workers'. I work in the brewing industry, and have daily meetings with our supply chain purchasers. They are struggling to produce the amount of cans requested, and larger companies get the lion's share when there is a shortage.

Can inventory nationwide has tightened, due to the seismic shift in beer sales from on-premise draft to off-premise package since the COVID-19 pandemic began.

Makes sense.

Especially @ ~165 cans per keg
