Mikkeller To Start Canning at Sly Fox
Mikkeller, probably the world’s most prolific gypsy brewer, has only released one other canned offering in the United States. It was a collaboration with Half Acre Beer Company in Chicago, dubbed Guest Lager. (Released in July.)

There were some grumblings back at the beginning of the summer that Mikkeller wanted to can stateside, but no decisions about where in when were mentioned. Sly Fox made a splash earlier in the year when the released the first “360 Can Lid” that allows the drinker to remove the entire top of the can prior to consumption.
