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.
Yeah but it felt like I used to drink quicker while having a puff but I suppose now instead of drink, puff, drink, puff it's drink, drink, drink, drink.

I've got a 6 pack in the fridge ready to try. Feel a bit embarrassed that I've never tried Pirate Life as their HQ is closer to my house than any pub is. Usually prefer keg or bottled beer but willing to give them a go.
I hadn't been to Dan Murphy's for years before today, wow, there's a lot of beers there now!
Cans still have a stigma because it used to be what the cheapest beer was in but apparently it is way better as it stops light getting in, is easier to store and transport, cheaper, etc
I've always found it tastes different because of the preservatives put into cans, even heard something like sulphuric acid was used. Having said that I did go through a stage in my early 20s when I preferred can beer.
Cans, bottles and kegs all have the same beer added, no extra preservatives or anything else. Honestly the different taste is all in your head. Over time fepending on storage conditions the flavour may differ a little bit between them.
Vessel conditioned beers can taste different. Rolling or tipping a coopers will taste different (and better) than one that is not, same as the start and end of the keg are not the same. Temperate can play a part of taste in some beer styles as well. All this talk of beer is making me thirsty now

No doubt it is the same beer but there is definitely differing tastes depending on what you drink them from.
The Corona cans are dreadful in comparison to the bottles.
Even West End has varying tastes via can, bottle or keg.

Normally don’t like the fruitier beers but this wasn’t too bad.
It was a bit like the Coopers session ale but better.
Not a fan at all of furphy. Just doesnt taste right to me.
amber_fluid wrote:Yeah it’s definitely brewed in Geelong but isnt that where little creatures is brewed?
Little creatures is originally from Fremantle, but have opened a second brewery in geelong (and thats when furphy was released) All owned by lion nathan anyway
