Food, Drink & Dining Out Drinking Beer: Cans or Stubbies

[Simon_Says]

Simply put do you prefer to Buy you Slabs in Cans or Bottles?
Couldn't find a thread about it

Bottles. Taste is better.

The only negative is they're harder to dispose of.

What the hell sort of question is this?

Do you prefer glass or licking rancid metal taint beer...

well you can't shotgun a stubbie so.......

I knew a guy who could pop the bottom of a beer bottle. Shotgun would be rough with a ring of glass to the face but I guess its possible.

better off using one of these instead

Depends what beer it is.

Export, VB, XXXX gold ect: Can

Stone and Wood, Gage Roads, Budweiser, Coopers, 4 Pines ect: Bottle

Cans are dumb. They feel cheaper, they're generally drank by flogs who reckon VB or Emu Export is hilarious, and they kind of feel like... a little anticlimactic? I don't know what it is but I don't like the vibe. There are actually people on earth who will pay the exact same amount for the same quantity and get cans. So lame.

Plus popping the top of a can has nothing on opening a stubbie. Nothing.

The only exception is in Europe where it's generally cheaper to get a can or else you're in the UK and everyone drinks big 500mls of weird s**t like Holstens or that absolute varnish s**t called Red Stripe. Over there I don't mind tucking into a Kroney or a Carling in car form but that's more the setting. In the US it was about the same price for six stubbies of Bud as it was for 12 PBR and PBRs are probably a nicer beer, so that makes sense too. Plus easier to carry back to wherever you're staying.

Yeah don't get me started.

Bottles.

Cans...the last mouthful has a filthy taste

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Tap

 

[The Dice Man]

Cans but I pour it into a glass. Reason for this is here you have to get in your car and drive into the village to dispose of bottles. It's a pain in the ass.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Glasses s**t over both of them.

Bottles taste better but I like drinking out of cans. Seems more comfortable than wrapping your lips around a bottle blowjob style. Plus cans stay colder to the last sip.

What ever is on special at Woollies'.
Who cares?As long as it's cold and sends you sideways.
Drink for effect not affect.

Cans were more prevalent 'back in my day' for the slab purchase and the bottle for the long neck. Cant say I never consciously thought nah I'll have an echo rather than a can or vice versa.

Cans were the drink of choice for Sheffield Shield winners

What's this drinking out of the container? Pour it into a glass. Get some decent beer glasses that will hold a whole can or stubbie, try it, you'll thank me.

Beer goes off when exposed to direct sunlight so cans is technically the better option. I agree with a few of the posters here who say poor it into a beer glass irrespective if it comes from a can or a bottle - it gets rid of alot of the gas..

Everyone one has different tastes. For me I keep a few long necks (Carlton Draught) in the fridge with some pot glasses in the freezer if I want to sit in, as well as some cans (VB) ready to go if I'm heading out. Each to his or her own.

 

[perthblue]

Cans are for poor people

 

[JG22]

Obviously bottles

But pre-mix drinks are actually better in cans. They look kinda dumb/preppy in bottles.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Can’t remember the last time I drank out of a stubble. I’ll always use a glass. Cans are only good when camping/golfing or if I’m getting a 500ml on special.

 

[Gough]

Cooper Pale doesn't come in cans.

Cooper Pale doesn't come in cans.

Dr Tims does and it’s almost the exact same thing.

 

[ioppolo]

Cans are the worst

 

[kickazz]

I pour my beer into a glass whenever I can. Much better taste and aroma, less bloating.
