the only time i ever drink beer its usually at parties with a couple 30-packs. cuz i guess technically its "illegal". I dont usually get the opritunity to drink it from the bottle or the glass. someday....
Beer from the tap into a frosty mug is the best. At home, I'll take the bottle. I hate that aluminum taste of the can.
The only way to drink Guinness, or any stout for that matter is out of a glass. I've tried it from the can and...no.
Anything real hoppy is better in a glass, like Stouts, you need to let them air out, but I mostly drink, like Molson, Corona, ill just drink them out of the bottle, If Im broke, High Life tall boy, a buck, totally score that
It depends where I'm at. If I'm at a lake or beach, can is fine with me. A dive bar, bottle or can is fine. But at a nice place (if I feel like drinking a beer and if it's on a Happy Hour time), a glass/mug is fine too.
Beer in a glass from the tap. Nothing beats that. Otherwise a bottle. As others have said, Stouts from a can is an absolute no (I don't think I have ever seen a stout in a bottle). Can's are bearable for larger mind, and generally good value.
From the beer expert site: I personally prefer my Largers and Bitters cold (Or cool) and my Stouts warmer/room temp. As I said before, i always try to avoid drinking from cans where possible.
