everything better out of a bottle, unfortunately
there are more bottle banks than can recycling places around but glass isn't anywhere near as valuable as aluminium and we keep throwing perfectly good cans in the mixed bin and recycling glass stupid council

Also, fuck faux-populism.
Also, you could smash a bottle over someone's head and then cut someone else with it.

And people seriously still drink PBR? Why? Its not even that cheap now that everyone started drinking it. Why not just pound Steel Reserve or Hurricane?

I suppose I prefer drinking from bottles simply because it feels nicer but if it's gonna be poured into a glass then it really makes no difference.
The main issues (besides flavour of course) are temperature and price. Beer in cans is cheaper but not few decent beers come in cans. Which sux.

I'm actually from the area PBR is brewed in, so for me it's a hometown loyalty thing (and it's still dirt cheap here). Plus the bar near my school has 2.99 PBR and popcorn! But yeah, I don't totally get why it's become so popular, since I will freely admit it's certainly not one of the best-tasting beers.

so I was drinking nice german lager from a bottle the other day in a shopping mall. took one swig, it was alright, took another swig, when I lowered the bottle, all of a sudden there was a groundswell of carbonation and beer came shooting up out of the top and all around me! luckily noone got hit but I felt embarrassed as hell. why does this happen?

I don't think I've ever had an Oskar Blues beer, but there's a couple of local craft breweries here in Chicago (Half Acre, Finch's) that use cans exclusively for their year-round releases, so I no longer associate canned beer exclusively with shitty corporate lager. Ska's Modus Hoperandi is one that I see fairly often, too.

the new Deviant Dale's is pretty killer -- not sure how far & wide it's being distributed. i live down the street from the oskar blues brewery.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 21:14 (twelve years ago) link
I've heard of Oskar Blues, but I don't recall ever having seen it locally. Maybe Jeff or askance johnson or t0dd sw1ss can correct me.
― sockless in moccasins (jaymc), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 21:17 (twelve years ago) link
sixpoint was pretty much the nail in the coffin for my bottle snobbery. But I don't drink from the can, I pour it into a glass. Can taste is still gross.
― i don't believe in zimmerman (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 21:20 (twelve years ago) link
I don't think cans taste any worse than bottles, honestly, but I pour into a glass whenever possible as well.

I hope they have an ad campaign that ends with a message to shotgun responsibly and know your limit
― i don't believe in zimmerman (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 21:29 (twelve years ago) link
psh, whole point of shotgunning is drinking the beer out of anywhere but the top of the can.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 21:33 (twelve years ago) link
love dale's and surly and i totally get why cans would be better for transporting/storing beer, but i still like drinking out of bottles better (hurting otm, you can taste the aluminum). if it's good beer in a can, i'll decant too.
― 40oz of tears (Jordan), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 21:36 (twelve years ago) link
even bad cheap beer tastes way better out of a bottle than straight from a can. in fact sometimes it stops tasting so bad.

me neither. oskar blues convinced me a few years back. don't think any beer nowadays tastes different out of a bottle than out of a can. definitely used to, back in the old days, before they started lining the cans w plastic or whatever.
