ok ive never really understood this. i drink a whole lot of beer and i can never tell the difference between bottle, can, tap, and so on. the only thing i've noticed is that beer has lost some of its carbonation then the flavor tends to lag too.
For me it really depends on my location. College house party: either a German beer stein or a coffee pot On the boat: cans At the bar: pint glass or bottle At the game: the paper cups
as long as it´s ice cold and not a light beer i don´t care.... anyone else feels pretty annoyed by those people who always drink their overpriced long drinks in oder to impress others?
