All good to great beers that you won't find in bottles. All stuff I'd take happily over other bottled things. If you like drinking imports, Cans will closer reflect the actual taste the brewers were looking for, not that skunkiness.

Edit- If you are looking for single cans, Mill Street does some great stuff. Their Vanilla Porter and Lemon Tea Lager are to die for in Winter and Summer respectively. There's also Longwood out of Nanaimo who are making some decent tall cans right now. And while I would be lynched for mentioning my guilty pleasure of Cariboo, I should mention PWB's Schwarzbock. Dirt cheap and a heaping of flavour, easily their best beer.

This is just stuff I sell and can cite by looking to my right. Given a longer lunch break I could probably keep going.

what? philips Bottle rocket comes in Bottles. I get them at the Brewery all the time. Same with ALL Lighthouse beers also come in bottles Once agian I buy them from the brewery all the time.

Bottle rocket being in bottles would be new. They specifically said they were never going to do that. I know because I asked. Lighthouse has many things in bottles, not the beacon IPA as far as I know.

they have them in the mixed 12 packs. Spinakers has thier beers bottled in 750ml. Just saw the post about the longwood . Their beer is great stuff. My buddy works there so he gets me great discounts on them.
they all do cans and bottles with the expections of howe sound and fernie. and of course low crap brands lik cariboo, luckey etc... Its not usually a flavour related thing why theyuse cans or bottles its a cost thing / storage/ travel.

Yep, but some stuff is cans only. Some stuff is bottle only. Some stuff goes in both. I was just giving a list of stuff that was available almost exclusively in cans.
