    Not sure why. Two beers that I like to drink out of the can are Two Brothers Sidekick and Founders All Day IPA. I've had them out of the bottle as well, and it just wasn't the same. I think I just like the feel of drinking out of the can, and the actual beer's taste has nothing to do with it.

    completely depends on the situation. generally if im in a situation that i dont have access access to a good glass, im probably lucky to get a good beer in the first place so the bottle is okay with me

    Usually, but not always.

    Last time I drank from the bottle/can was a bottle of Budweiser at a bar where that was the only beer. I guess I'd drink like that at a party maybe, but never at home and preferably not when I'm out.

    Glass 99% of the time. If for some reason I'm in a situation where glassware is not an option, I'd happily enjoy it from the bottle. Given the choice I would prefer my beer in a glass.

    Yes and with proper glassware for style, usually. I tastes better, opens up the nose and flavors as well. Do you drink wine or bourbon out of the bottle?

    I can actually count on one hand the number of times I have not used a glass.

    I'll repeat that I usually use a glass, but honestly, comparing bourbon to beer is hardly logical. Because yes I always drink bourbon from the bottle.

    I drink cheap bourbon from the bottle, but I only drink wine from the bag.

    Yes, when I'm able. Meaning at home. If I'm at a buddies place, and no proper glass is available, I don't worry about it. Drank a few Old Chubs from the can the other day at a get together. It was fine.

    I'm the same -- I'll drink DC Brau Public / Corruption, Jai Alai and a Dale's from the can. I had all three in a glass many times. But, I could not drink them out of a bottle. I can't drink stouts, barley wines, saison out of a bottle or can. I have been known to drink a Sunshine or Prima Pils out of a bottle, though, but I think that's mainly because if I'm drinking session beers, then I don't pour them.

    I used snifters often. Even if the beer isn't "snifter appropriate"
    Bought these cool snifters off eBay and really like 'em.
    So, yes.

    Why, because the can says not to?

    Almost always a glass. The exception is when I'm at someone's house who isn't into it at all. It feels strange drinking out of a bottle!
    I'll rinse my glass when I'm done for the evening and put it back in the freezer for it's next usage, no dirties that way and I always offer guests one of the clean ones...HA!

    If the can of heady said to drink it out of a shoe box, people would claim it tastes best that way, but can't explain why.
