catbirdseat Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 I don't care how good it is, they'll have to sell it for less if it is in a can, before I'll buy it. Quote
billcoe Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 They've been putting Guiness, Becks and a bunch of other good beers like Heinikans in cans for a long time. Whats the news here? Sounds like good stuff. Were they supposed to put it in bottles? Â help me out, I'm ignorant on this. Quote
layton Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 Big rock brewery in canada has been doing this for a while now. grasshopper wheat bear in a car rocks. Â fuck those non-twist off in a glass bottle mo-fo's Quote
chucK Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 Non-twist-off beers are one of those paradoxical items for which people seem to think that a less-desireable characteristic adds value to the product. Â And microbrews have been coming in 15.5 gallon cans for a long time! Quote
klenke Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 Cans would pack better in a backpack and be lighter than bottles but would be prone to immature puncture. Dilemmas dilemmas. Quote

rbw1966 Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 They've been putting Guiness, Becks and a bunch of other good beers like Heinikans in cans for a long time. Â Bill, you need to get out more if you think Becks and Heinaken are 'good' Quote
klenke Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 I like Heinekan as a summer post-climb brew--especially in those keg-shaped canicans. I don't drink it otherwise. Quote

Hell, even Coors Lite tastes good in a can if it is hot out, and you are thirsty enough, and it was a hard day, and and... Quote

Greta Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Does anyone really need a free supersuckers CD? Im always a little suspicious of people giving away shitty music to get you to buy their shitty beer. Too many good bottled beers for under 7-bucks a sixer, not to mention those under 5 in a can. Branch out if you want, let me know how it goes . I dont want to hear about the superfuckers, though. Quote
EWolfe Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 life is way too long to not be drinking it away any way you can. Â Exactly! Quote
AlpineK Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 I don't care how good it is, they'll have to sell it for less if it is in a can, before I'll buy it. Â I've had some decent Canadian micro-type beer in a can. Â Cans are cool they pack easier, and they never have a snobish feel. Quote

Â Bill, you need to get out more if you think Becks and Heinaken are 'good' Â Yeah, I have low standards generally, it probably comes from living in Europe for a while. However in Beer and in Climbing partners my standards are especially low! Â Despite that, I still won't stop to Budwiser and that ilk. Â BTW, I just read the "Who needs a Pirate Patch" thread: glad you're still in good enough shape to pull them yourself! . Imagine if you woke up in a wheel chair ala Christopher Reeve and all they served in the rest home was Bud, and since you couldn't move your arms, some old krone had to tip the buds back for you. Â That would even make me pissed, and I do have those low standards. It would be like life in Hell...........ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH.......................point is, real glad you're still cranking hard. Â Gotta work, cya. Â Quote
