Cans vs. bottles

If you want to purchase craft beer, bottles seem to usually be the only option. However, increasing numbers of craft brewers are using cans according to a recent article in the St. Louis Post Dispatch. The reasons? Cans eliminate light and oxygen from spoiling beer and are also cheaper for brewers to label and ship.

Another reason I personally like: Cans are made from more recycled materials so they are better for the environment.

And if you're going to pour your beer into a glass, what does it matter anyway what it came out of?

    glass bottles tend to have a better flavor than cans, you get a crisper and cleaner representation of your brew.
