Best beer in a can?

i know that using the words "best" and "can" don't normally apply to beer. and i figure that since i don't spend a whole lot of time on this forum that this subject has been covered before. but during my trip to idaho, hangin' with the local country boys, i've discovered that you can't toss bottles into the back of the pickup bed. that being said i'd like to put my vote in for kokanee (sp?). so far the best beer i've had in a can. certainly better than anything
A-B has produced. i know you guys have your faves so lets hear about them. and maybe having the word "can" in the title will attract the Bud types that i just insulted so sorry (not really) for that.

I think Kilkenny's is pretty damn good (plus it has a "widget" and spews foam).

Are these are local micro brews? I'm not sure we have anything decent in a can here in PA.

never tried Dales pale ale, where is that primarily available?

'draught' beer cans don't count. thats only because i think the nod would have to go to Guiness. i'm thinking of something that will easily be tossed in to the back of a pickup bed.

21st Amendment IPA is by far the best beer in a can that I've had. Only available in SF though.
