Poll question: Beer: bottles or cans?
Which way do you like your beer? Is it better in bottles or cans? "From the tap" will not be counted, because most beers are better that way, so here are your choices:

1. Depends. Do I have a glass?
If I can pour it out (so I can't taste the aluminum), cans are fine. Certainly better than clear or green bottles that let the light in and skunk up the beer.

2. Bottle. Sometimes the cans get dented a little, and the beer
goes flat.

10. not really


I've also seen many half liter cans of Budweiser Budvar in europe.

I wish that more imports would come to the US in a can. It really is a better way to pack beer for a long journey. At least better than green bottles. I'll take a Heineken can over a bottle any day, and I won't drink Pilner urquell except from tap because it gets skunked.

9. Can
Stacks nicely, is usually cheaper, doesn't let in light, seal is better, cools quicker,easier to pack and carry in a cooler, opens easier, and when I'm done I can crush them and put them in the recycle bin without any hassles. Besides it's fun to toss the empties at your pals and with bottles that can be painful

12. what the hell kind of no-brainer is this?
Canned beer is invariably inferior. Good beers in cans suck(Guiness & Pilsner Urquel).Bad beer in cans is responsible for our current political nightmare.(well, maybe)
