Look like canned beer has really picked up in the decade since I quit drinking, what is the advantage, are they fancy cans like the old bodingtons and guiness?

[One Man Banned]

Not fancy, I imagine it's cheaper than glass, especially now.  Don't know about outside U.S. but here these aluminum cans are pretty flimsy, unlike cans of the past.  It kind of allows for more consumption and perhaps more sales too as I mostly see pint cans now vs the old 12oz.  From a consumer standpoint a can is convenient to throw in your bag if you're going on a mission and want a victory beer for after, no worries about breaking glass or clinking sounds.  Same if you want to take a few hiking.  I do like glass for at home but it's kind of less 'special' now.  I like bottles of old when they were embossed and will collect ones that are meaningful to me like these old Schlitz ones with the globe logo.

No glass allowed by the pool or on the boat.

When I was in Czech Republic a couple years back you could get 2 litre plastic bottles of lager with screw caps so you could save it for later

U.K. pubs are allowed to have customers inside now although this new variant will

probably put a stop to that. Supposedly, each person needs to drink 124 pints each to save their local. I’m helping best I can.

One more for good luck.

I don’t know this brewery, but it looks like they have a quality control issue on their hands. Still carbonated and I’m gonna drink it.

@One Man Banned That one was very nice.  It was a while ago that wife and I shared it but I remember really enjoying it.  

 

@KILZ FILLZ Are you alive?  How did it hold up?

Beautiful setting for a beer

[Media One]

At the liquid light taproom. All the brewing equipment got stuck during the pandemic so they set up a crowdfunder to get it sorted out.

put in £25 and got £15 back for beer tokens

@One Man Banned CA make some good beers but I don’t buy it much because it’s made on the other side of the country from me and I am a petty hater.
