bottled beer vs canned beer. In general, Which do you like better and why?

It is better to drink out of a bottle than a can. I suppose you can pour a can into a glass if you want.

Some people who drank beer from cans a few years ago will remember a strange aluminium taste to the beer. This has been solved by lining the cans with a thin protective layer. Still, this has put some people off for life.

I live in Bavaria, Germany, and I sure like bottled beer the most, because I got a crateful (20 half liter bottles) delivered to my doorstep, and when I need more, like for a party, the other crates are just a phone call away.

I drank canned beer when I was travelling, but I thought it has a metallic taste somehow. Might have been superstition, as scientifically, that cannot be. But in my ideas and tradition, drinking beer out of a can just doesn't FEEL right. It has to be a glass bottle, and the glass has to be brown. Wherever there is such a bottle of beer, I feel at home.

Canned beer is nearly sacrilegious to me. It deteriorates the taste. I only will buy bottle. The only time I get canned beer if I'm smoking a beer can chicken will give me the excuse to buy a six pack. I enjoy bottled beer and would not think to buy beer in a can on a regular basis.

At a restaurant, if there is beer there better be beer on tap. Buying bottled beer tends to be a complete rip off.

I used to be a die-hard bottle snob. But I've changed (and so has canning technology).

Bottles are expensive, heavy and wasteful. They're also hazardous if dropped, thrown or left in the bushes or on the beach.

And if you go into any beer aisle with a decent selection, you'll see that many high-end craft beers are now coming in cans, not bottles.

Bottles are going the way of the wine cork.

bottled, it seems to taste better usually but that might just be in my head. although in some situations cans are better, like for guinness. the can has a widget in it that makes it pour and taste better than in the bottle.

chill bottle beer in a glass..thats good

bottle, beer in cans tastes different and I don't like drinking it out of the can

Beer, soda, water, any liquid tastes better from bottles.

Bottled I think desperato is lovely

I like beer on tap the best...then glass.
