Why does beer on tap taste better than in a can?

[JEDI]

ie: Bud, guiness, hiniken

Why?

Because you pay 5X more for it.

hmm, I prefer bottle over tap.

Because tap beer is generally better cared for. Proper refrigeration, faster rotation of product, no sitting on the shelf for months on end. You're drinking fresher beer that has probably been properly refrigerated the entire time, as opposed to possibly older beer that has probably undergone many temperature shifts.

canned beer tastes like aluminium.

bottle is best, tap is second and cans are last.

I only drink bottled beer, never cans. Draft beers taste good if they're fresh.

Bottle/Tap can go either way with me as far as preference. It depends on the beer.

Cans are generally not so great, I agree Unfortunately it's either cans or the rare plastic bottle at a lot of parks, at least in my area...

Someone hand me a bottle of Pete's Wicked Ale.

I actually prefer Murphy's Irish Stout over Guinness, but it is harder to come by.

I dont think they ever cleaned the lines at Reunion Arena in Dallas...the tap beer was pretty nasty...(at least the bud light taps by section 221 were)...ever since, I stick to the bottled stuff...

they have opened the new arena in dallas now, but couldn't tell ya about the tap beer there...

bottle > *
