Cans vs. Bottles

[ManBearPig]

Does beer taste better in cans or bottles to you?

and im not including tap.

Bottles, but....I hate to say it, but what you dis included is the best...meh

 

[jcuadrado]

who cares.....either one works for me....but if I really had to choose and the prices were the same...I'd take the bottles....

 

[daveshel]

Bottles.

why do you need to ask this question? It is so obvious...

Aw crap! I voted wrong! I want bottles, not cans! :|

Added bonus: glass isn't a good thermal conductor, especially when compared to aluminum. The beer in the bottle stays at a colder temperature longer. Of course, this point is moot if you're a college student drinking beer at a rate of 1 can every 3 minutes. Otherwise, if you're nursing a drink for 15 minutes or so, the bottle wins.

I'm a bottle fan myself, in particular the big tall corked bottles of belgian ale.

LOL you are the only one voting for Cans (at least till now)

Bottles, that said, most good beers get poured into a tulip or Trappist glass 🙂

I won't drink beer out of a can. I'll pour a can into a glass or plastic cup before I'll drink out of the can. Ick. I prefer straight from the bottle.

The plastic cups are better by a mile.

This is why God created the beer coozy. 😉

If I'm drinking out of the container, I prefer bottles. But I usually buy cans and poor them into a glass/mug.

no question

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

a good beer deserves to be poured into a glass, and those are almost universally sold in bottles.

a cheap beer (nothing against cheap beer - i'm drinking one now) doesn't matter if its in a can, glass, or bottle.

Bottles sound better when the mess is cleaned up.

Bonus points if they fall to the floor and break. 😛

 

[JBT]

bottle. No question.

 

[TallBill]

As long as its free and cold, I don't care.. Actually, as long as its free I'm good 😛

Bottles, but wouldn't turn down a good beer set in a nice nissan can insulator. 🙂

A bunch of fine breweries are canning their product now. Better lining & no threat from light actually give it a better chance of tasting fresher. Just grab your favorite pint glass & pour. Dale's Pale Ale is one of the best brews in the country, & it comes out of a can. 🙂
