Spike 5,103 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 The two reasons you silly bastards think that glass has a different taste than cans is because you lot probably pour your glass bottle beers into actual glasses, which agitates the carbonation and releases more aroma. The second is because you’re putting your bloody mouth on a piece of aluminium and thinking ‘this tastes like metal’, because it fucking is metal, but that isn’t the beer taste, and it’s i possible for the beer to have a metal taste from a can because the inside is coated in a thin plastic. Glass sucks, they break, are heavy, and are much more dangerous, because they can explode, or people can be hurt on the debris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time I pour beer into an actual glass, regardless if it comes from a can or a bottle, and in that case yeah, it's probably impossible to tell the difference. But I do drink it straight out of the bottle at times, and it's still heavenly. Drinking out of a can sucks ass for the reasons you gave, and should only be done if you're 14, if you're camping/on a hike, or if you're an alcoholic who downs the can they just bought at the Kiosk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ffs, close your eyes when you have a can and pretend it’s glass. It’s a common idiom meaning that if you don’t acknowledge it’s existence it doesn’t exist.

Moderator Tommy 12,615 Posted November 25, 2022 Moderator Share Posted November 25, 2022 … But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like you've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think our taste is biased because we know it comes from a can, but if you close your eyes, you can't tell the difference. I'm not dumb. Well, maybe a little, but at least I'm self aware.

I just don't see how it makes any sense when I literally said that I pour my beer into an actual glass or drink it straight out of the bottle, but not out of a can because it sucks ass. Meaning I don't drink out of a can. Meaning I don't have to close my eyes and pretend.
