    Or cider, lager, stout - whatever.

    How do you prefer your drink?

    I like Magners but out the can they are rotten. Peroni aswell, it's better out the tap than the bottle I think.

    What a Belting Topic and there is me trying to cut down lol Well i think tap and bottle both beat the can big time.
    The 330 ml Stella Lager takes some beating,for some reason nicer than other forms of Stella and just about all other lager,mind you that is more than matched by the 500ml Co-op Czech Lager!! Both are a dream for a social gathering or BBQ,or posting on here.
    One can that does stand out is the Scrumpy Jack one,that is Brilliant.Tap can be hit or miss depending on the Pub or Bar,so bottle wins for me,as if the Tap is off form,you can have the bottle!

    Usually tap but only if the pub cleans the pipes properly. Otherwise, a bottle.

    What is a keg but a giant can? :84: And the two things which hurt a beer are light and oxygen - cans are completely sealed and opaque. Tap gives more options like nitro though, so tap > can > bottle. Guinness cans are miles better than Guinness bottles b

    I always pour my cans in a glass anyway.

    Have never drank out of bottles since I've been in the pub industry, that big bottle bin they throw them all into you wouldnt believe the amount of * and gick goes into them, clearing them out is manky and they get shipped off to be recycled, after seeing those bins and the * swimming round in them I'll avoid drinking straight from a bottle any way I can ha

    Bottle.

    Cans are * and it's too gassy out the tap.

    I would pour cans or bottles into glasses so dont really care.

    Id rather drink from a can than a bottle though but never do it. Wouldnt buy bottles in a pub.

    You can't beat beer right from the keg/barrel.

    Generally out of a tap (as long as it is properly maintained). Things like Guinness and ales are much better on draught.

    Peroni has a much better taste out of the bottle, however.

    Cans? Awful.

    Any of the above as long as they're chilled. Nothing worse than a lukewarm beer, especially in a can or bottle.

    Unless you stick a can of beer inside a hog and put it in the oven. Then warm beer is great!
