    Way to go backing up your argument with facts and statistics! Sheesh! I got nothing. I admit that I was speaking from assumption. That being said, it seems to me (my own, personal experience) that most BMC drinkers I know, when given a choice, would choose a bottle over a can. That being said, it also seems to me that BMC drinkers usually go for what is the least expensive. Now, I could be wrong, but I believe cans fit that bill. Thus, I can believe that more cans are sold (especially since they can be purchased in 24 and 30 packs). At the end of the day, I suppose I was making wild speculation. My bad. Don't taze me, bro!

    There are great beers in cans, and if Lagunitas started brewing sucks, sumpin, hop stoopid, foxtrot, or their IPA's in can's i would have to buy a 6xer at least. Also i agree with sucks all year round and in the mickey's style grenade idea. That would be SWEET.

    Cans? Bottles? I don't give a good goddamn. Just bring the Lagunitas to Indiana and I'll be happy.

    Cans of Pils would make me very happy.

    It's nice to see someone reconsider their strong biases.

    Cans or bottles doesn't matter to me - just widen the distribution! We need some love in Alabama! Gets old driving across state lines - a lot too!

    Bottle or can, I don't care. I pour it in a glass, unless I don't.

    32oz bombers? Make them pry top and the home brewers will LOVE them

    Money talks and bullshit walks. He doesn't like cans but his customers do, and he is in existence because of his customers and he has to appease them, so he'll can eventually. It's really that simple.

    If drinking directly from the vessel I much prefer bottles, but as a storage vessel, the can blows the bottle away in my opinion for keeping the product inside safe.

    I am not sure what to make of this other than I will not be using the men's room at a dive bar that Tony is in any time past midnite. I do LOVE just about all of "Lags" beers though, in whatever vessel he decides to give it to us in.

    cans are great as long as you buy a good/expensive canning line like OB has. My complaint with cans is the average consumer cant tell if its a cheap manually operated version that yields high DO levels versus a line that rivals a Krones bottler in packaged stability. There is a world of difference.

    Cheers,

    Jim
