Tudval, thanks for dropping a line. I’m curious to know which beers you were able to try that are available in both can and bottle from the same area?

It’s not different water source, as EVERY beer that I tasted, that comes in both cans and bottles, tasted better from the bottle in every aspect (carbonation, aroma and taste).

What’s the difference between bottled beer with twist off caps and bottled beer needing a bottle opener to get open?

Up here in MA at Bishop’s Lounge we just added a 30 beer can menu including a large number of microbrews in addition to imports, and the usual domestics.Storage is so much easierr than bottles and we love the new six pack carriers.

Bob, good point. I’ve noticed differences in the same beer served in bottles vs cans, as well. Not knowing the answer, I have a guess. Could be a different water source, as often times the canning facilities are in a different brewery than the one that may house the bottling line (as may be the case with a larger brewer like Moosehead).

The case for cans makes sense–no light, less air.

However my favorite beer is Moosehead which for years I have been drinking from bottles. So I bought some in cans–doesn’t taste bad just almost no taste at all.
The bottled brew is far better. It’s as if the brew they put in bottles is not the same as what they put in cans.

Can someone explain why?

“But I think re-using your purchased bottles for your own homebrew might be the best re-use recycle low impact you can do as a beer drinker.”
Where else can I read about it?
