Was at the store today and saw this. When I started drinking Fat Tire It was tasty now it is/has been reduced to cans. Can't even drink them for the bottles anymore. It is a sad day.
But do you have Prince Albert in a can?
i love that cans are more readily available for craft beers - however there are studies that have shown concerns about BPA in the linings of cans (food and beverage) leaking into the food/liquid they contain
Yeah, I agree with the others. On a local note i think Sunking in Indianapolis was brilliant for selecting a canning system rather than bottling and distributing their beers. Perfect can every single time!

Then, I hear about all the "cost savings" and how it will be cheaper for the consumer...a savings of under $1.00 a 24 pack...wow what incredible savings...I may just be able to retire now...

Then there is the A-holes that say "save them and cash them in"...YA no @#$& thanks. The same leaky stinking cans leak into the trunk/truck and now have caused stains and smells were there was none before. All for $5...Not even worth the gas to take them to the recycle facility...
The above only gets worse with a "can crusher"...
Can not see inside them...Bees and wasps...ever see someone get stung on the inside of the mouth? I have, not fun. In the summer if I stop watching my canned beverage for more than a second, I pour some out...good habit...IMO. This does not even count the nasty cigarette butt in the 1/2 full can that you got to drink...

I hear it all the time "cans are better". Then why does Mountain Dew taste so much better from a glass bottle??? If you have never done a side by side there is no comparing the two. I am not saying cans taste bad, just different.
This does not even cover purely snobbish reasons like I do not want to be associated with the BMC crowd. (So this one was a little lame, sue me.)
So, what good are cans to me??? I can go tubing or on a beach with them...I think I would rather take my reusable Miller/Coors Home Draft system and have what I want on tap...
The only single benefit I can see of a can doing better than a bottle is protection against light striking/skunking the beverage. but that is a double edged sword.
I don't think he enjoys cans.

That's not comparing apples to apples. Mountain Dew in glass bottles has real sugar in it and not HFCS, which is likely the difference you are perceiving. Try Mountain Dew throwback in a can vs regular Mountain Dew in a can and I'm willing to bet you find the same difference in taste.
so compairing the throw back in a can to mtn dew in glass should be the same?

No...throwback is the old recipe made with sugar. Awhile ago I found actual new Mountain Dew (Not throw back or some ancient bottle) in a glass bottle @ a gas station of all places.

Yes but the conclusion on the studies for those was that it's only harmful in large quantities over a long period of time with very acidic items... mostly canned tomatoes.
