Do you prefer beer out of bottles or cans, or even the tap?

Question

I'm a can man myself. My second choice is draft beer. I only drink out of bottles if I'm really hard up. I just find that bottled beer is too inconsistent and tastes dusty at times. What does everyone else think?

Answer 1

Usually beer on tap is the best, followed by a bottle, especially bottle fermented beer. Cans... ah, good for camping, canoeing, etc... If you want to get drunk, and don't care what the beer tastes like... drink it from a can. Most good beers don't come in cans. IMHO

Answer 2

I drink beer from a glass unless its not convenient, then I will drink from the bottle. But I only drink bottled beer at bars or restaurants. If Im at a party, I usually will bring my own, which then means I need a glass. I dont buy beer to drink at home, I make it, and yes it comes from a tap. How else would I get it out of the keg?
Pouring the beer into a glass awakens the flavor of the beer, it gets some oxygen into it and makes it taste better. Its unfortunate that most bartenders in the US dont know how to pour a proper glass of beer. And if you are drinking beer from the major US breweries, it needs all the help you can give it.

Answer 3

I haven't had a beer in a long long time. When I do have a beer, I'm not choosy. I have never found bottled beer to taste any different than canned. When we go out to a bar, I will usually ask for draft (tap).

Answer 4

1st Draft. beer on tap is the greatest, besides bud/budlight. 2nd its bottles. i only drink from bottles when i cant get whatever i want from the tap. or when im home, etc. cans is last. the only thing good about cans is that there cheaper and come in greater bulk. that hold the coolness longer dosen't matter because i usually finish my beer before it starts to get warm anyway. so tap/draft, bottles then the can.

Answer 5

I think they should put it back in the horse it came out of!!! Just kidding- sort of- LOL- anyway - I can taste the can- and I think the bottle tastes better- and draft is out of aluminum kegs-but tastes better than the can- and btw my last beer was 7 1/2 years ago- alcohol doesn't do much for me-D

Answer 6

Beer out of bottles is the best, out of the tap is the close second, beer out of a can goes flat too quick.

Answer 7

I only drink out of bottles. Cans if I'm hard up. Draft beer is always a never...gives me bad hangovers.

Answer 8

Nothing better than a cold beer from an icy cold bottle. Second choice is tap, cans just yucky, and last resort.

Answer 9

I suggest you open your own bottles and stop drinking out of the ones you find on the side of the street.

And my tap seems to only provide water what sink are you drinking from.

Answer 10

Bottles or tap. Same for soda. The can leaves a metalic taste.
