SUMMARY

The discussion centers on preferences for drinking methods for bottled and canned beverages, particularly beer. Participants emphasize that beer tastes better when poured into a glass, specifically a tall and thin glass, due to sensory engagement and oxidation. It is noted that cans can impart a metallic taste and that light exposure negatively affects beer quality. The conversation also touches on practical considerations, such as the convenience of cans for outdoor settings.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of sensory perception in food and beverage consumption
  • Knowledge of oxidation effects on beer flavor
  • Familiarity with the impact of light on beer quality
  • Experience in beverage service or hospitality industry practices
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the effects of oxidation on beer flavor profiles
  • Explore the science behind sensory perception in drinking experiences
  • Investigate the impact of packaging materials on beverage taste
  • Learn about best practices for serving beer to enhance flavor
USEFUL FOR

Beer enthusiasts, hospitality professionals, and anyone interested in optimizing their drinking experience will benefit from this discussion.

Do you like to drink straight from the bottle or the can or do you prefer to use a glass?Perhaps you have some other method.For me cold beer tastes much better if poured into a glass,not a plastic glass but a glass glass,which is ideally tall and thin.Some will say that's nonsense and that a beer drunk from a beer bottle made of glass must taste the same as that beer when drunk from a beer glass made of glass.Nonsense it may be but to me beer tastes better from a glass.I suspect that its something to do with the fact that like eating ,the enjoyment of drinking involves all of the senses.What a load of rubbish this is .It's making me thirsty.:-p

Cans are easier to open.

I definitely enjoy beer in a glass glass, but for some reason, particularly in summer, I'm quite partial to a few cans - I guess I'm more likely to grab a few and head down the beach or a place where (a) glass would be impractical.
 
A cup.

Beer will have more of a taste from a glass than a bottle. Beer will open up like wine when air hits it. What the mechanism is, maybe oxidization, I don't know. A can will transfer some of that metal taste into the beer. Beer poured from a keg or a dark bottle will have the freshest taste. Light has some kind of negative effect on beer.

I've been in the restaurant industry for 15 years, Went to booze school a few times.
 
I like to drink shots of vodka from old prescription bottles.
