All beer is good but free beer is best.

Beer in a Pringles tube > Beer in a can

depends on what beer it is, but generally I think it is bottle>glass>can

I like can beer. The aluminum taste usually supplements the taste of shitty merrican beers.

>shitty merrican beers
Why would you drink those? There are so many awesome merrican beers.

depends on the style, a session beer fits perfectly in a can.

Guinness from tap>Guinness in can>>>>>>>Guinness in bottle

I want beer in a bag, lets make the canadians jealous

Flavour is more rounded and tastable in a glass. Tasting beer is too concentrated in a bottle, and a can is just too much carbonation.

Every other bottled stout>Guinness from tap

Guinness is an okay beer. It's a shitty stout. No matter WHAT the delivery mechanism.

Guinness draught is very good in my opinion.

You don't get metal taste in beers anymore. The metal you taste is from drinking straight out of the can.

Never drink a good beer, or really any beer if you care about taste from the can/bottle.

For storing beer /keeping it fresh, the can is superior.

However, freshness effects things more than anything else. Often on tap beer is the freshest.

Tap > Can > Bottle.

I find that canned lager tastes much closer to how you'd get it in a pub, bottled lager always has this kind of grassy/earthy taste to me - which I don't like. I live near the multiple times CAMRA pub of the year though so usually drink real beer on tap.

Guinness Draught is shockingly plain. I havent had one for a long time and ordered one recently and I was almost shocked at how little there was to it. Not much flavor, absolutely no depth, but very very smooth mouthfeel.

People don't realize a stout doesn't have to be huge. The dark color and roasted flavor comes from certain kinds of malt.

>>4046739
Try it again from a glass. It has more depth than you remember.

Or you just have shitty taste-buds.

Herp derp. Buy the extra stout ya 'tard.

Sidenote: Pipeline is back in season.

Just drank a six of that yesterday. Nice stuff, good flavor. But then again, I'm a huge fan of porters and stouts.

>>4046777
That's the thing - Guinness doesn't really have any "roasted flavor". Mild malt flavor, no hop character at all (I don't like hoppy beer, but you need SOMETHING), and very thin. Eh.

I guess it's am matter of personal preference.

No, he's right about Draft. That about sums it up.

Think of it as a dark beer for the masses. I don't think I've ever met anyone who thought Guiness was anywhere close to the best stout, and really, it's an Irish Dry Stout. Not even the best example of one. I've had many better American brewed dry stouts.
