Drag bag beer

The first time I ever had this beer was on a rafting trip down the San Juan River in 2005.  The San Juan River begins in southwestern Colorado on the southern slopes of the San Juan Mountains. The San Juan River flows into New Mexico, then across New Mexico, and then across the very southwestern corner of Colorado, and then continues in its northwesterly course for an appreciable distance into Utah, before turning west and joining the Colorado River.

There was a mesh bag hanging off the back of each boat filled with beer because the water was cool enough to keep the beers cold and not having a cooler full of ice saved room on the boat.  Brilliant.  However, the San Juan River just so happens to drain some of the sandiest parts of the country and therefore, has enough fine silt in the water to rub all the ink off the beer cans after a day or two in the bag.  I drank somewhere between 1 and 10 of these beers over the course of the 5 day trip and recall enjoying them.  But now, nearly 7 years later, here I am trying it again.
