Does beer taste best from a bottle or a can?

>> No.7022228

A glass.

But between the two options, I usually prefer out of a can.

>> No.7022233

bottle, only faggots drink canned.

>> No.7022255

>>7022223
Bottles only. Also, the plastic lining in cans contains chemicals which can function as estrogen in the body. I've seen research indicating that we're just totally fucked because BPA was not alone, virtually every plastic in consumer goods has the same problem it did.

I'd say they're equal these days. If anything a bottle has more potential to ruin the beer. I wish England would get on the dark bottle train. It's annoying when you buy Newcastle and it's skunked.

>skunked beer

In my corner of Freedomland skunked beer is usually referred to a beer that's been real cold or frozen, then warm, and recoiled. Puts the taste off.

Why would the tint of your glass skunk a beer on bongland?

Canned is technically better for the actual beer. Some people, when tasting beer, will not like a metallic taste they feel from canned beer however.

I despise not being able to crush my empty beer vessels and hear the lamentations of their women though, so I prefer cans.

Light can skunk beer and bongs tend to use clear bottles. If the product has sat around for awhile it will skunk. Cold to hot can ruin beer too.

What important is - how fresh is a beer and if it was exposed to a heat during transportation.

From my personal experience. Comparing the same beer from a bottle and a can - i cannot say that i felt any difference. Which is fucked up because my snobby-self wanted to insist of the bottle superiority....

That said, I haven't seen FANCY beer packaged in cans.

Bottle.
You look better in front of people when you drink out of a bottle.
Since the craft beer crowd is solely based on looking good in front of people, that's all you need to worry about.

In Scotland pretty much all good beer comes in bottles. You rarely see anything better than Bud / Stella in a can.

Sometimes you see cans of Old Speckled Hen but the bottles are usually cheaper anyway.

hear in australia land our craft beer section is pretty small, and of it I have never seen any canned. come to think of it, most of our beers are sold by bottle, there's a couple that are canned but they're not great beers.

americans need to check their craft beer privilege, much larger variety (a lot cheaper too)
i had a sierra nevada pale ale the other day that was pretty great after hearing good things about it here on /ck/. didn't like the sierra nevada ipa as much.

>> No.7023212

You pour it into a glass. If you have no glass bottle is better. Cans give a tiny metallic taste as it rolls out of the can, but if you pour a can and a bottle of the same beer into a glass each they won't taste any different.

heavy aluminum consumption causes alzheimers. cans are made of aluminum and some of it might be dissolved by the beverages stored in it. probably not so much for beer but more for acidic stuff like softdrinks.

>> No.7023690

....you do know that there is a protective layer between the beverage and the aluminum, right? That's why the whole "beer from a can tastes like metal" thing hasn't existed for years.

bottle is slightly better, but cans do have a much better shelf life.

I left a slab of beer in the pantry up at my summer cabin over the winter and tasted just as nice the next summer whereas all the bottles burst

There's something about drinking from a bottle that makes the experience better. It's kinda like the old glass coke bottles, it's much different than drinking from a can.

Most of the beers I drink are bottled.

Ballast Point puts nearly all of their wider distribution stuff in cans. Really nice to take places where glass isn't allowed or is in danger of shattering if you can find it.

Isn't canned beer pretty often processed for longer shelf life, something like pasteurized?
