A beer that is - grabbed a 12 pack of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale in cans at BevMo today. I never noticed this on the bottles before but it says "Can Conditioned"
Still tastes good to me!

I got one in the can!
They are moving their torpedo over to 4 pack 16oz cans.
Canning ftw! I love that canning is starting to really happen. It's such an improved package vs bottles.
Say whut? Why?!?!?!?!

I agree it doesn't let in any (sun)light but that's a matter or storage. However, a lot of cans give the beer a certain (after)taste. I would still opt for bottle any day of the week.
I would venture to say that is all in your head sir.. where do you think most beers ferment in? Certainly not glass connicals. Beer spends a lot of time in contact with metal before its put into glass bottles or a can. I've had plenty of micro beers from cans that don't have metal tastes. Like said before, the only downside to cans is we can't reuse them for our homebrews!
Nembrionic said:To a certain extent I think you are right. However, there's metal and there's metal. Most of they time beer is fermenting in stainless steel. Which is different from cans.
Cans are lined(as mentioned above) but that lining doesn't stant the test of time. So yes, for (lets say) a year, that's fine...but after that I'm sure it's different.
Agreed. I doubt many of us let beer sit around longer than a year though. I just don't like seeing people snub there noses to cans. Many people miss out on some great tasting beers if they do!
