For Sam Adams, it's in the can.

The Boston Beer Co. will sell Samuel Adams Boston Lager in a can for the first time beginning this summer.

The company says beer fans can take cans to places where glass bottles may not be allowed, like parks, beaches and sporting events.

The Boston company says cans will be available in 12-packs nationwide by early summer. It suggests a price range of $14.99 to $17.99.
