Did you see NPR's recent story about the growth in canned craft beer? It featured Cincinnati breweries Rhinegeist and MadTree.
The story, "Brewers Have Been All Bottled Up, But Now They're Canning It," notes that "the number of craft breweries putting their beer in cans has more than doubled since 2012."
Cans are "lighter, more portable, easier to bring anywhere, cheaper to ship," Rhinegeist co-founder Bob Bonder is quoted as saying in the story.
Locally, MadTree was the first brewery to can in March of 2013; it has the distinction of being the first modern craft brewery in Ohio to can beer.
