Beer: Cans vs Bottles

[bing]

I've often wondered why certain beers taste better from a can, such as Heineken, or do I just hate green bottles?

I don't know. I drink all my beer from a frosty mug.

You can't go wrong sucking cans!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm don't know about green bottles... I prefer to drink Crown Royal!

I always thought, Heineken tasted liked shit weather it was from a can or bottle.

BTW I only buy cans, more bang for the buck.

A can will get colder faster, but a bottle will stay cold longer.(without any kind of insulating cup).

If beer being cold is important to you, that is.

I find it's easier to chug beer from a can than a bottle.

Couldn't agree more.

I agree, tastes like a Canadian poured through dirty ass cheeks. but i would still drink it if there was nothing else

Its easier to dispose of cans while tailgating at football games in Buffalo. Bottles break causing flat tires. Cans I can throw on the ground and stomp on.

If Heineken is shit what do you think of Molson Canadian or Coors Light?

Personally, as far as lagers go I think Heineken is one of the best. I prefer ales mind you. Right now drinking Robert Simpson Confederation Ale - fantastic.

I find most beers taste better from the bottle but I agree with you here heineken seems to taste better in the can. same with sleeman cream ale. however moosehead is much better in the bottle.

 

[RTRD]

I prefer...

...bottles. It always seems like I can "taste" the can...a kind of metallic taste...

wtf ?
who wants too drink Old Vagina?

Red does

In fact he's drinking it right now.
Nothing quite like aged vagina juice

I don't mind Canadian, tastes pretty good to me.

I HATE all light beers, they all taste shitty.

For the past year or so I've been drinkin' Lakeport Ice, It's a great tasting Lager.
Lakeport has a new beer called Lakeport Red it's a Lager too, less alc. content but man is it ever tasty.

Actually I'm gonna pound back a dozen tonight CHEERS!

They say beer in bottles tastes better than in cans. I use to drink canned beer when I lived in Alberta, it was cheaper. 355 ml cans. When I moved to Ontario, it was cheaper to buy bottles. 341 ml bottles. Myself, after the first one, I can't tell the difference, so I buy on price. Another problem is weight. Bottled beer is heavy and more akward, especially when you are bringing back 50, 24's for bottle return.

As a brewmaster for a large brewery told me: "Beer should always be poured into a glass to release the flavour" like a wine

Also drinking beer out of a can or bottle bloats you because the carbon dioxide is released in your stomach and not in the glass

Interesting.

Interesting.

very interesting, on hindsight, I believe he has something!
