when you're short two pairs of boots, the last place you'd look is on your irreproachable milk cow - she's probably slurped up your last can of ale too - a disruptive coffee/mocha explosion
The Beer Can section is a virtual homage to the American beer-can collecting craze of the 1970s. The rise of thousands of microbreweries have made 'dump scouring' or digging for old beer cans in the woods and abandoned campgrounds a thing of the past. The thousands of young men who could pick up a can in any vacant lot when the hobby was at its zenith in the 1970s have grown up - but fortunately may now find hundreds of colorful cans (full of good brew) within mere miles of their homes.
Why Beer Cans?

Nearly 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today
68% of beer cans are recycled — the highest rate of any beverage container
In addition, beer cans are graphically rich, and pints o' fun!
Brewer's Exegesis
This Mocha Brown ale needed a fanatical bovine with a brown sugar sweet side and a kick of Colombian coffee. Brown Sugar Brown Cow is brewed with chocolate, vanilla, brown sugar and Colombian coffee. We added a hint of lactose, and this brew is a mocha coffee and cream concoction so good you’ll say its name.
