The Argument For Canned Beer

[Pat K]

Hey if it tastes good fine.

Cans are easier to pack.

Probably get more cans to fit in a cooler.

Oh crap my cooler is heavy already!

Oh well it can be my exercise.

Does one need an argument for beer?  I mean it's beer.

[K. Darien Freeheart]

Canned beer is superior to bottled beer. Unfortunately, there's a stigma in the industry behind using cans. If I could can my own brews, I would.

Draft beer beats bottles AND cans.

[Moebius Tripp]

Isn't a keg just a great BIG can?

[Roycerson]

In that article they suggest you pour a canned beer into a glass and give your friend a blind taste test to demonstrate the lining prevents metallic taste.  The outside of the can is not lined and does taste metallic.  So much for the other arguments that include drinking directly from the can.  I drink some canned beers... well, one regularly, Boddington's, It's meant to be poured into a glass.

The outside of the can is coated. Otherwise, it would be covered with powdery white aluminum oxide.
