Canned beers return...hard to get used to

People can make fun, but I pour all of my canned beer into something ... even if it's just a plastic cup on fishing trips or whatever. It always tastes like good beer and not like the can, so for me it's worth it.

 

Use a glass.

 

Always this.

 

You are experiencing sense memory, as Sammy says, use a glass.

 

This is probably just because they were Cigar Shitty brews not because of the cans. Seriously though, I love cans! Any beer that should be enjoyed fresh, should come in cans IMO. They are lighter, more durable, and there is no light exposure. What could be better? I also agree with the above posts about drinking it out of glass. That should solve any problem you may be having.

 

Invest in some good glassware, my friend. (or even some bad glassware)

 

I can't help but wonder how some beers will age in cans though like a barley wine.

 

Ten- Fidy does great in the can have been drinking some 2009 and 2010 both were superb

 

I pour all my beers into a glass of some sort (depending on the style I am drinking of course). I cannot remember the last time I drank straight from the can (or bottle for that matter).

 

I guess I never cared about what vessel my beer came in as long as it tasted great. I mean how many people complain that soda comes in a can vs a glass bottle. Just wait until beer is in 2 liter plastic bottles.

 

I'll always pour them in a glass unless Im not at home. They never taste as good to me from the can so I prefer to pour them in a glass.

 

Real Mt Dew- Cans> fountain > .......................... bottles.
Do a side by side and you can tell a difference.

 

I'll never drink a Mt Dew. Nasty stuff.

 

Why don't we pick a beer instead? Mountain Dew?..........really?

 

Its seems like a odd debate because most of us serve in a glass anyway.....but for me I don't get any of that. I never drank any of the bad canned beer of the 60-70-80's.

their is no bad memories to fight for me. My only memories of cans are good

 

Cant say Ive really done side by side of ber can vs. bottle except adjuncts, there really isnt any. Now that SA is canning though...

 

Agreed, it's amazing how different they are really!

 

Either pour it into a glass or (my recommendation) keep drinking good beers from cans until you've conditioned yourself to enjoy them.

 

I usually pour canned beer into a glass, but for me some beers just feel right straight from the can. Especially Four Peaks Hop Knot IPA and San Tan Hop Shock, both a pretty solid AZ local IPAs and if I get a six pack I'm drinking at least a couple of them without a glass.

One day I'll drink a Ten Fidy, but I can bring myself to do it because of the style and the price. Just doesn't feel right.
