    I know most craft beer drinkers use a glass to drink their beers from, but it seems that some beers just taste better when sipped directly from the can. Aside from adjunct lagers which just don't taste right from a glass I found that Brooklyn Summer Ale seems to be way better from a can than poured into a glass. It seems that the citric twang is accentuated that way.

    Does anyone else feel this way and if so, what beers do you prefer to drink right from the can?

    Didn't take long for the obligatory Header reference. I'll take mine out of a glass.

    Tecate, The can gives you a nice place to put the tabasco sauce and salt

    Torpedo was better from the can. Heady may have been but I poured it all into a glass when I found it wasn't as ugly as I thought.
