Beer in cans or beer in bottles?

I hate Corona and didn't see the MHL.

Miller is always skunked out as shit but drinkable, bud light is the redneck's delight and budweiser is THE KING OF BEERS.

Rilla ftw as always.

Bud Light is the single most unenjoyable beer I've ever had. Bud on tap is ok. Afer I had one, I realized why they put so much money into commercial advertisements. It's got to be made by mixing the dregs of regular Budweiser with water to make it 'light beer'. It's the beer equivalent of Chinese Restaurant Soda.

I've had better High Life luck with pint cans compared to bottles. I suppose Miller's clear glass doesn't protect the beer from light and High Life turns very sour when it sits around too long. So there are times when cans taste better than bottles. I usually try to find a store that sells a high volume/turnover, so the beer is always freshly delivered. Beer from grocery stores is coin flip undrinkable, IME.

Also, I think someone might've mentioned this, but beer has a bigger taste out of a pint glass compared to a bottle/can because the glass sips differently than a bottle/can. You get much more flavor on your tongue from beer in a pint glass. I find a regular tapered pint glass to be the best, or a 'short beer' glass is ok, too. This effect is more noticeable on beer's that have more complex tastes than it is for typical domestics. Anyway, it's worth taking the time to pour a bottle/can into a glass, for better flavor.

You're right, you do get a lot more flavor from a glass, but that's because the majority of the "flavor" you experience is from the smell, not from the taste. An open glass where you dunk your nose in simply allows you to inhale more aromas while drinking. All your taste buds tell you is whether something is sweet, sour, bitter, salty, or savory, it's your nose that tells you the rest.
