Oh, those look good. I have to try that. I am not a drinker so what beer does everyone recommend for this?
The beer is only for moisture on the inside, you really can't taste any beer flavor with the finished chicken. Any beer will do but I would stay away from the ultra darks. I have also heard of using orange soda instead of beer. I haven't tried it but it sounds interesting. That might add some flavor.

I do ALOT of beer can chickens, and use light beer 100% of the time. I do find that I get a subtle beer flavor in the meat. One EXCELLENT substitute for beer, though, is Sprite. I even use it in a spray bottle as well
The sprite sounds pretty interesting. I do alot of Beercan chickens but always on the grill. I will definitely try the sprite.
This was the first two in the smoker.

Not sure where all you can get it but I used a Buffalo Rock Southern Spice Ginger Ale one time. It was great in the chicken. Couldn't stand to drink it though. That extra kick it has actually come through in the meat and was good.
A can of hard cider sounds like it would be good too. Haven't tried it myself but all the brainstorming above made me think of it.

I do coke can, or rootbeer can chicken all the time. I emtpy half the can and sometime sqeeze a fresh lemon in the can. Works out great. You do no get a lot of flavor from the soda but good moisture.
Yeah I'm pretty sure any canned beverage with carbonation will work. I always toss a few cloves of garlic in mine.

I tried to keep the temp around 275 for crispier skin. The time was between 3.5 and 4 hours, then I let them sit for about a half you before cutting.
