I think it's past someones bedtime

I don't know why, but it tastes the same to me

It's FAR better in a glass bottle, absolutely no comparison. All beer in a can just tastes like cold, carbonated aluminum. The flavor of the beer is smothered and killed. In a glass bottle or, of course, on tap, is the way you want to drink.

Of course, for something like Coors Light that barely has any flavor to begin with, moving it to glass doesn't enhance much. But even with cheap beer like Pabst Blue Ribbon, the difference in taste is dramatic. What's incredible to me is that a lot of expensive microbrews sell their beer exclusively in cans. This is because the profit margin is higher of course. But it's such a waste of good beer. You're paying extra for supposedly better flavor, and then distributing it in a medium that kills that flavor.

Can.
Stays colder longer and prevents skunking due to light exposure.

The only good beer is one in my stomach, do I really care where it came from?

>>19550071
Neither, it needs to be poured out into a glass

What kind of fag is pouring a coors into a glass?
Are those the types that discuss politics during dinner?

Some beers have to be poured into a glass in order to not taste like shit. Maybe it's a mind trick but my tongue thinks it's true.

Beverages in aluminum cans never actually touch the aluminum
There's a plastic condom separating the drink and the metal
If you taste aluminum you are imagining it

That said plastic is gross too so yeah glass is better

pretty good troll, you only gave it away because it was too well written

The bottle-can hybrid of course is the way to go. I had one of these bad boys on a hot afternoon in Cary, NC. I was at a Billy Strings concert and it was the coldest, most well-balanced beer I ever had.

i've drank for 15 years (in a row) and my starter years it was all cans, there's this mental thing where I think something out of a glass bottle tastes better. and then both get improved by being poured into a clear glass cup
wish i could find those stubbies of miller high life like johnny gets in cobra kai

Cans are better because you can recycle them for more money after you've poured the coors banquet down the drain.

>>19550071
where are you seeing banquet in a tall boy bottle? I've only ever seen coors banquet in those little stubby bottles

>on tap
Isn't a Keg just a big can at the end of the day though?

>>19550071
bottles keep their carbination better. glass bottles are always superior for any beverage.

>trust the science goy!

cans are better for anything meant to drink fresh, though it's not a huge difference vs. brown glass (green glass is strictly worse unless the brewer is doing some galaxy brain nonsense intentionally trying to cause a small amount of skunking and for some reason you actually want to drink that)
bottles are better for aging, you don't want beer sitting on the plastic liner of a can for years.

my store switched from bottles to cans and they taste about the same but it felt better drinking from a bottle

>>19553334
no, totally different materials. stainless steel vs aluminum+plastic

I'd say glass. But there's probably a placebo case. When I'm working outside and it's hot and I have a beer, it feels more correct in a can.
Also, when river tubing, cans are better, but that's a form factor thing.

>Tells other people what they can and can't do
>Thinks he's better than everyone who ever had a sip of alcohol
He's the weakest of them all, and so are you. The only people more cringe than those that make drinking alcohol their identity are those make not drinking alcohol their identity.

There are definitely advantages to cans, especially outdoors, since they're much lighter, can't shatter, and they can be easily crushed to reduce their volume when transporting empties (because only a nigger leaves their empties outdoors.) None of those have any bearing on taste though. It still tastes better out of glass.

>>19550434
Glass is a better insulator than aluminum, and why the fuck is your beer doing in the sun?
