Best Craft Beer Cans for the Cooler in the Dog Days of Summer

Brewery Vivant Triomphe
Michigan's breweries pride themselves on testing beer's boundaries, but Grand Rapids' Brewery Vivant takes it a step further by putting high-minded brews in decidedly downmarket cans. The Triomphe Belgian IPA has all the spice, citrus and aroma drinkers would expect from a tulip glass at a specialty pub, but seems an odd fit amid the other canned offerings. It's a bigger beer at 6.2% ABV and isn't built or price for a summer drinking session, but if you're looking for that one great, strong beer that will last through a summer sunset, this is tough to beat.
