Why is bottled beer so much better than canned beer?

I hate nowadays when I go to a restaurant and order a beer from some microbrewery, and they bring out a beer in a can. Maybe it’s in my head, but I don’t think so.

What do y’all think?

Draft or nada for me. Bottles or cans aren’t fresh.

I generally find the exact opposite to be true. I've definitely had some skunky bottles, but never a skunky can

because you taste the aluminum can that its in, same goes for soft drinks or anything else. glass doesnt add any flavor to whats in it, aluminum does

Technically cans are better for beer than anything but fully opaque bottles like crockery. Blind tastings have shown no difference unless the glass beer is skunked by UV like pretty much every Corona I have had in my life.

Try pouring them in a glass, I don't like the feel of a can when drinking beer.

It is.
Some of the country's highest rated beers come in cans.

It's overused. But really. You would not be fun at parties.

Agree that bottle seems to taste better but not sure if there’s really a difference.

Beer in a can keeps better.

You should be drinking it in a chilled glass.

Beer is best cold. A glass bottle has much more mass than a metal can, therefore keeping the remaining beer colder as you drink it.

There's a big difference. Miller High Life must be drank from a glass bottle.

Beer cans often contain epoxy linings that contain bisphenol A (BPA), which keeps foods from reacting to aluminum, but has also been linked to cancer, reproductive troubles, and abnormal brain development.

It’s really just the experience. There may be something to how the carbonation creates a mouthfeel.
