Going to a party and I know the party girl has been wanting to try Firestone Walker 805 ale. So I go to pick some up, and it is available in bottles or cans.
I have to pause and think as if I was considering two different types of beer. Then it dawns on me that other craft beers from various great brewers offer their beers in both bottles or cans.
There was no price difference between the two, so why offer a choice. I feel a sort of stigma about beer in a can from memories of metallic tasting beers of yore. But, maybe beer cans have changed, maybe their made differently. I grabbed the bottled ones after all. I always go for the bottles. But, perhaps the bottles let in to much light, and that jeopardizes the taste...
Is there a taste difference between beer in a bottle, versus a can?
Is that why there is a choice?
