I Like Canned Beer...
 

So on the heels of the, "has beer become too hoppy" thread (http://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-discussions/885846-do-think-beer-has-gotten-too-hoppy.html), If I can't have beer from a tap, I prefer it in cans! Such that even if my favorite beer is available in bottle (maybe sold-out of cans), I will work down my beer list until I find one in cans. I'm not saying canned beer tastes better than bottles. Maybe it is a weird nostalgia thing? Maybe I like the convenience; cans are easy to keep cool, easy to pack in a cooler, more widely accepted on beaches and pool-side, etc.

I've also noticed that many beers that were once only available in bottle are now available in cans: Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada, Stella Artois, Corona, blah, blah, yada, yada.

So that's it! A dark confession? What say you?

Maybe I'm a drunk klutz and cans are more shatter proof?

Seems like this has come up before, and I thought you were wacky then too :D

Though I've literally had thousands in a can for the reasons mentioned, they suck!

I avoid cans and will go to a 2nd/3rd choice in a bottle instead. I don't drink that much beer anymore....last can was probably at the Cat's Cradle a few years back ;)

I like canned beer too. The cans don't break when I pack it out in the wilds hunting and fishing and ATV'ing.

I like fancy beers, not to many hopps ! I'm having a Sam Adams Oktoberfest right now.

But give me a Coors Light in a can that's all I need. Modelo in a can also fine. ;)

Glad to get that off my chest!

Cheaper to can if you do a lot and keeps better, we sell to Founders here in Grand Rapids and they are really gearing up for canning now!

HAHAHAHAH!!!! Hell, I might have been drunk on ****ty canned beer the last time I posted this thread topic!!!! I lose track! And Cat's Cradle is a favorite haunt of mine! I now take great pleasure in exposing my kids to concerts there!

The genius behind this post cannot be described!!!

I bought cans because glass was prohibited at the beach. Ten years-ish ago they banned all alcohol from the the beach so I don't buy cans anymore. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/suppo...leys/pint1.gif

You know you can get beer in plastic bottles.

We use them around the pool.

And there's that aluminum can shaped like a bottle (with a screw cap)!!!! Oh man! What is that classified as?

Now that's what I call "proof"!

I recycle, so cans are better to crush. Ever try crushing a glass bottle?

Only when I drop it...

There are some awesome beers in cans. My favorite dark beer, Cavatica Stout from Fort George Brewing (OR) is can only.

Illegal in Texas

I'm confused, canned beer is illegal in TX? I was in some TX city years ago, and they didn't sell beer but there was a lot of traffic going across the bridge 1/2 mile to another county with dozens of liquor stores. It was some city with a big ass university.
