Bottled or &%$#+@ beer?

[teddy037.2]

Problem is, most NA beer doesn't taste like the beer I usually drink, so that wouldn't work for me...

I'd imagine that it doesn't.

She was the model for the truck? Wow, was she that big?

Sorry Travis, no proof at hand, you'll just have to take my word for it.

I could never understand the concept of drugs with the drugs removed.  What next?  Alcohol free Vodka?  Heroin free smack?

i will not drive if i have had more than 1 beer. so its a nice alternative, if you can live with the taste
also, on the rare occasion that i am a designated driver, i prefer to nurse a couple of NA beers through the event rather than stand around with empty hands.

i won't sacrifice taste so i can drink something beerlike. i'll just drink soda.

i'll agree i'd choose water over NA beer

From what I hear, it is significantly more expensive to can than to bottle. This is why most micro/craft brewers go with bottles. One of our local brewpubs is going to start canning. I think it's great because there are many parks, events and so forth that don't allow glass. There are many people knocking cans here but what about those plastic bottles some of the domestic beers come in. Beer in a plastic bottle is just ridiculous.

More than likely the biggest reason is snotty people like us (me included) will not buy beer in cans or wine with twist off tops even though canned beer can be as good or even better, as pointed out by Somebastid.  I can only imagine bottles being cheaper for the smallest of micro brews because of equipment cost.  Thin aluminum sheet is a lot cheaper than glass.

Printing a label is easier than printing a car, plus I'm sure the tooling is a lot more expensive for cans...

I'd imagine the sticking the label to the bottle might add some work. You're also less likely to break a can in the printer is slightly off. As far as I know, canning is cheaper, I think it's perception.


I would not pour a glass of dom perignon from a box for company.

Beamish in a can is excellent.  Doesn't even taste like it's from a can ~

I'm pretty sure the labels go on already printed. It's just a crazy thought though

My point with that is while it may be easier to print the label than printing a can ("easier" is relative, as either form would be automated), one still needs to stick the happy, newly printed label to the bottle.

The three favorite things around here are Itailan motorcycles, barley pop, and bacon.
We have B.O.M.B. to honor Itailan motorcycles.
Bacon is Bacon
How about a beer of the month?
