Your poison of choice?

[mighty_tiger_79]

Cans have several aspects that differ to bottles :

Generally the mouth of a can is wider meaning you open your mouth wider meaning you get an enhanced flavour as you use more of your olfactory sensory neurons. It's why many of the hoppy craft beers use the wide mouth cans.

Cans limit the amount of light hitting the beer ( An ol mate neighbour told me years ago never trust beer in clear bottles, he's right )
They have an internal coating now that eliminates the metallic taste of old. They get cold quicker and they're cheaper to make, cheaper to transport and are fully recyclable.[/quote]

Does U Brew It still have their canning machine?

I always pour them into a good quality glass when I’m drinking st home. Helps a lot as a lot of the flavour and aroma is in the head

Also eliminates some of the carbonation that causes the bloating.

I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to drinking beers at home, I've got an ale glass, a pilsner glass, a lager glass....all slightly differing in shape and size.

Yeah mate, but in 2 1/2 years of brewing there once a month I've never seen or heard of anyone using it. Cans are something like 40c each to buy!

Bugger. At least you can reuse bottles...even if sanitising is a pain.
Cans would be a good if you were doing the grog for wedding, parties anything etc with own labels on them.

Does anyone else think that pints knock you around more than cans or bottles?

Would there be a reason for it?

Fair point about bottles Bonney, I actually have been meaning to ask people on here why there's so many clear bottles these days as the coloured bottles (mainly brown) were made to keep harmful light out.
Anyway I'm at the pub enjoying a pale ATM as its next to my missus Doctor and she wanted me to drive her there.
Had two freebies so far, I think the bar staff miss me.

There's little doubt you can knock down beer in a glass quicker than you can from a can or bottle. Might just be you knock down 3 or 4 pints in quick succession when you're at the pub?

Sanitizing is pretty easy, all I do at home is rinse the bottle thoroughly ( a half fill, drain, full fill and shake, drain, full fill and drain ) and run my thumb and finger around the mouth of the bottle to clean away any sediment from under the cap.

U Brew It have 2 trees that we stack the bottles on to sanitize and rinse when we get there to bottle. ( Next Saturday at noon ).

Opposite for me. Could knock down 20 pints and feel fine the next day.
Can beer did used to hit me harder the next day due to the preservatives/acid in them.

Same as Wedgie. Drink as many pints as I want but bottles go straight to my head

355ml brown glass.

Since I've been doing my brews ( which are preservative free ) I simply must take a heart burn tablet with me if I'm going to a pub for a show or to a gig where I'm drinking mass produced beers. The preservative free stuff, fine, mass produced, fire!

You talking about the beer?

I get that after about 21 pints and a spicy feed.

That and a pint has more beer in it (425ml or 600ml imperial) to a can/bottle (345ml-375ml)

It's not the next day for me, it's at the time.

I can sit at home and pretty much polish off a box from bottles, some days I'm a bit glassy eyed and obnoxious after 7 or 8 pints.

I only ever feel seedy the following day if I've changed drinks during the session, even if it's changing from one beer to another I notice I'm not as spritely.

But if you pour a stubby or a can into a pint, it fills it up because of the head.

Hard for me to compare as I usually only drink at the pub, the only time in recent years I've drank bottles were at shindigs such as SANFL finals, SANFL catch ups, AFL Grand Finals at mates, OzSpurs bus trip, etc and I reckon I've been ticking after about 4 or 5 bottles. Depends on a lot of things such as food eaten, etc and especially how regular you drink. I'm actually feeling a bit of fuzziness now after 3 pints where a month ago I'd probably need 12 for that. Maybe it was the Chilli beer beforehand
I've actually found since I gave up smoking 4 months ago that I get pissed quicker too.

Because you're drinking quicker by not interrupting it with the ciggies.
