Craft Beer in Cans

Thirsty in Texas commented on the Keystone post about cheap versus craft beer in cans.  Here was my comment back:

I have had experience with quite a few of the canned craft beers. I have to say my experience has been very positive.
There are two reasons for the increased use of cans in craft beer. First, the cans keep out light and oxygen better and thus the beer stays fresher and better tasting longer. Secondly, they are much lighter and more compact and less energy is needed so they are supposedly more environmentally friendly, and just plain easier to transport.
I think cans are still associated mainly with cheaper beer but this is changing fast, just like the concept that wine with a screw top must be cheap.
