bevvies: Bottles vs. Cans

I find the canned Grolsch is tarter and less skunky, but
the bottled while a bit skunky, is richer...

Similarly I notice a big difference in coke in cans and
bottles. The canned coke is definitely superior - it's
tarter, and foams more in the mouth to give more body to the
drink. I think the canned coke holds the carbonation better,
for one thing - maybe the plastic bottles expand more wiht
the pressure than the cans?

As for Pepsi in cans and bottles, Pepsi drinkers should be
bulldozed into mass graves.

Pepsi=In a bottle
Coke=In a can

the best way to drink from a can is with a straw..
:jumps out of the way of bull dozer's:

Coke in a glass bottle

Beer: Grolsch in a bottle, Newcastle Brown Ale in a bottle,
Stella in BIG bottles, Carling in a can, Guiness in a pint

Straw: yes.

Let me add: the best way to drink from a can is with a straw
in a chinese restaurant with a bigass order of General Tao
and rice.

Coke in glass bottles is nice when it's available.

Guinness in cans gives me a headache.

Generally, bottled beer > canned beer as long as the glass
is dark. I'm not big on mister skunk, esp. after one
particular case of Stella that must have sat out in the
Sahara for a week under a magnifying glass. I'll make an
exception for Sleemans; though in clear glass, the stock
turns ofer at a rate that guarantees freshness.

For dinner tonight: Smithwicks in dark bottles and fish
curry. Or fish in dark bottles and beer in a paper bag, or
something. The wife will be eschewing the bevvies as she is
a barbarian.

We get lots of imported beer, at least in Quebec. In Ontario
you have to fill out a government application three weeks
in advance to get a cup of warm Molsons in a styrofoam cup.

I understand the best beer in Amsterdam is this stuff brewed
and served in a windmill.

No, I personally don't like Grolsch that much...... It just
depends on where in the Netherlands you live..... In the
east we like "Brand" beer..... But it's definitely not
exported....

tested the theory

Ever get wrecked on those cheap half gallon(?) jugs of malt
liquor? They're like 10-12% alcohol with names like St.
Ghetto and Red Ball-Eating Wolf. It tastes like bile. It's
an "I'll never drink again" experience.

sherry from my mother.. (well not literally from my
mother..).. I can't stand the stuff now..

in cans. less hassle.

Hertog Jan.

Brand is okay, Heinken is shit, Grolsch is too bitter,
Bavaria is shit, Amstel is shit, Oranjeboom is really
shit.

that about summarizes dutch beer.

qrter > Totally agree! Except for the fact that i would
qualify Amstel also as really shit.

But it seems that export Heineken is much better... Isn't
it?

Bavaria is really cheap, but no matter how much you drink,
you always get a headache ;-)

Bavaria tastes like drinking dust.

I would be surprised if Heineken is better outside of
Holland.

that name, but probably doesn't get bottled and exported..

probably some cheap beer derivative.. using the name
Hollandia to give you the idea its dutch, and well.. the
dutch make good beer, so this must be good even though it
costs nothing.. :)

i prefer bottles to cans

you dont get that tinny taste with bottles, although they
turn out to be more expensive

i consider bottles to be a luxury
