Canned vs Bottled beer on Huff Post

I think infection would not be right here, as that would mean micro infection. In the industry they would call it a tainted flavor from the metal. Skunked beer is tainted, but not infected, for example.

 

None of your comments make sense to me. Glass adding taste character? Any chemists care to weigh in, cuz maybe it's just me but that cannot be possible...

 

I'm waiting for the juice box style container.

 

Every week I go to the lake and tecnically it is illegal to have glass on the lake. My friends and I have made a fun challenge in bringing great beer on the lake and being "legal". We take modus hoperendi, tenfitty, and many more.

 

I totally agree. Was long a bottle guy only, then I discovered Oskar Blues, Sixpoint, NEBCO, etc. These guys make fantastic beer. In fact drinking a Gandhi-Bot as we speak.

 

The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

FWIW, Im having my first canned, craft beer. Deviant Dales. Its pretty stellar. So its safe to say, I was an asshole for doubting.

 

Certain styles are better in cans, others in bottles. I love craft cans, especially for the hoppy ones.

Holy shit, Capri Sun makes beer?!

 

"But beer manufacturers have been lining their aluminum cans with a thin plastic since 1935"

I did not know they have been using aluminum that long. Would have guessed steel(?) until the 50s or 60s. Jess?

 

I see that some folks have yet to receive the wisdom of the Seven Legged One?

Interesting read, and I look forward to a follow up from FOX and Friends.

 

Yeah, that's where I stopped reading.

I also like they linked to another blog as the source for that info, but that blog said nothing about aluminum cans in the '30's- they did get the location of the Krueger Brewing Co. wrong- tho' the first canned beer was marketed in Virginia, the brewery was in Newark, NJ. They also got a few other things wrong- like the fact that canning beer didn't stop entirely during WWII - but the canned beer, often with olive drab labels, was reserved for military use.

Coors experimented with aluminum in the late 50's (they supposedly got the idea from a small German brewery that had aluminum cans) and they did a lot of the early research -they wanted to be able to sterile fill and avoid pasteurization - but aluminum didn't really start to take over until the 1960's and steel cans existed into the 1970's from some breweries -a few PA breweries stuck with steel longer than others because the industry was centered there.
