Congrats to the gentlemen at Borderlands Brewing Company, as they’re the latest Tucson brewery to go the route of retail, canning about 400 cases or so of their Noche Dulce vanilla porter in 16 ounce cans to be sent around town. Look for it in stores starting this weekend, but in full force next week or so. The suggested retail price for four cans will be in the $12 range and you’ll be able to pick them up at Total Wine, Plaza Liquors, 1702, Tap and Bottle, Rumrunner, Magee Road Liquors and elsewhere around town.

Three bucks for a can of beer? The fucking hipsters who buy this crap are simply raising the price of a decent locally brewed beer for everyone. Buck-a-pint is a good price for decent beer. Tripling that doesn’t make the beer better, it makes the brewer a shyster.
