Tainted it, it was a bit dead, bland ... just not even a patch on the bottled stuff.
Sirrius - we approached with open minds ready to be impressed, but it was pretty grim.

You do realise this was all in your head and that canning beer is better for it than bottling it though, right?

Nuh-uh.
I have had many, many bottles of Sierra Nevada, and only that one can.

It was different; it was grim.

How's that? My understanding is that bottles are completely neutral and inert.

(I helped save b3ta! Kroney, Thu 18 Dec 2014, 10:21, Reply)
Whereas cans somehow impart some evil into the drink?
Beer is susceptible to heat, light and air.
Bottles do not protect it as well as cans do.

I know nothing about cans.

^^^beerwrong
Cans impart an unwanted metallic taste, bottles don't.

Also canned beers have more gas in.

If you are not pouring your beer into a glass then you are not fully tasting it.
And more gas? Really?
Come on...

I like it poured into a pint glass while in a pub rather than drinking cans from a 'slab' kept in a dirty old fridge in the garage like some kind of benefits scum

Indeed, only plebs drink from a bottle
To me the really cheap stuff isn't that different in can or bottle, it's still crap, but the good stuff is much better from the bottle.
(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Thu 18 Dec 2014, 10:36, Reply)
To you, yes.
But if there is a difference, it is the can that would come out on top.
(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 18 Dec 2014, 10:37, Reply)
why?
bottles are chemically inert, cans (for all the fancy inside coatings) aren't.
(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Thu 18 Dec 2014, 10:42, Reply)
I'd defy you to taste the difference with both served in a glass.

(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 18 Dec 2014, 10:46, Reply)
I can and have
Stella (yuck) is a prime example.

Also, neither cans or bottles are a patch on draught.
(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Thu 18 Dec 2014, 10:52, Reply)
Ah yes, you also have some weird opinions on the 'chemicals' in Stella, don't you?

(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 18 Dec 2014, 10:55, Reply)
If you say so
That's the stuff brewed near London though, the real thing from Belgium is much much nicer (similar to how Budvar is to Budweiser).

^ This.

(I helped save b3ta! Je suis un vagabond is an unfunny, up your own arse middle class knob, Thu 18 Dec 2014, 10:34, Reply)
is it to do with the serving temperature?
Cans get colder than bottles.

Both are effective for protecting beer from heat and air, bottles allow light in.

(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 18 Dec 2014, 10:29, Reply)
Cans are a bit povvy though m8.

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Thu 18 Dec 2014, 10:30, Reply)
Well yes, that is perhaps one of the reasons we think we prefer beer from a bottle.

(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 18 Dec 2014, 10:31, Reply)
Yer - that and the taste from bottles is better.

(I helped save b3ta! Je suis un vagabond is an unfunny, up your own arse middle class knob, Thu 18 Dec 2014, 10:35, Reply)
Because?

(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 18 Dec 2014, 10:36, Reply)
nobody would have mocked poor old AA if he'd treated himself to payday bottles.

Hahahaha

Brown bottles protect against light damage.

(I helped save b3ta! Je suis un vagabond is an unfunny, up your own arse middle class knob, Thu 18 Dec 2014, 10:34, Reply)
is this why currymunchers are brown?

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Thu 18 Dec 2014, 10:34, Reply)
Not as effectively as a can.

(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 18 Dec 2014, 10:35, Reply)
True.
But the stuff from cans is shit.

How did the can taint it?

(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 18 Dec 2014, 10:39, Reply)
Cans and bottles get equally cold or warm
but cans will cool or warm faster due to being thinner and metal.
Beer is best served in glass either way, cans warm up quicker than glasses.
