Draught is best, but which is better, Guinness in a bottle or a can?

Not with guiness.
noob.

Are you even old enough to drink yet kid? ;)

lol - I actually don't like Guiness, either. I prefer Fat Tire and the local brew called Black Butte.

fat tire is GREAT!

99% of beers are better in bottle. I'd say Guinness is a minority and in the 1% that is better in cans. Or so I've heard. I actually haven't had either so my opinion really shouldn't count.

Can. Tastes better and is easier to clean up, just crush it off your buddy's head and toss it in the bin. Conserve space!

You can do that with a bottle, too. Plus if you are lucky most of the glass shards will stay in his forehead... just make sure he is on a washable surface.

I refust to drink beer out of a can (call me a beer snob, but it is my money damnit). However, Guinness is the only beer I make exception to. The cans do seem to have a better flavor and head to them when poured, as opposed to the bottles.

Of course I would take bottled Guineness over many other piss beers.

Just to add, I am a big fan of New Belgium Brewing Co. and love Fat Tire and Sunshine Wheat. Yummy brew indeed.

Cold glass? no way. Gotta be a dry, clean, room temperature glass.
To each his own.
