Samuel Adams Introduces Magic 8 Ball Beer Can to Help Drinkers Say "I CAN't"

The Boston Beer Co., makers of the renowned Samuel Adams brand, understands the importance of enjoying a carefree summer with a cold brew in hand. Recognizing that unwanted obligations often interfere with leisure time, Samuel Adams has introduced a game-changing solution: the Samuel Adams 'I CAN't' Can. This ultimate summertime accessory is designed to provide the perfect excuse for those seeking to ditch their calendar commitments. With the 'I CAN't' Can, summer enthusiasts can make the most of their well-deserved beer time. Pre-orders for this limited-edition can are now available at the Sam Adams Store.

"Summer should be the season of fun, not obligations," said Head of Samuel Adams Brand Lauren Price. "We created the 'I CAN't' Can as a lighthearted way to help drinkers take a well-deserved break from some of life's less desirable occasions and return to what they love most - cracking open a cold one. Next time an unwanted obligation is part of the plan, just reach for the 'I CAN't' Can."


Survey Highlights Americans' Desire to Escape Obligations

According to a recent online survey conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of Samuel Adams, a staggering 80% of Americans express their eagerness to escape various obligations that clutter their summer calendars. However, 22% admit to struggling with finding believable excuses to bail on these commitments. In response, Samuel Adams has introduced the innovative 'I CAN't' Can to address this challenge.


Product Details: 'I CAN't' Can

The 'I CAN't' Can, priced at $5.30 as a nod to Samuel Adams Summer Ale's 5.3% ABV, can be purchased on the Sam Adams Store while supplies last. This mock 12 oz can features 12 humorous excuses cleverly crafted to assist adults in their quest for an "out." Some of these entertaining excuses include:

  1. "Working on a 6-pack"
  2. "Caught an ale-ment"
  3. "Blew out my flip flop"
