I prefer cans for these reasons: beer seems to stay colder for longer; beer comes out faster.

The colder the beer means more of the flavor is covered up. Like wine many beers have an appropriate temperature to be served. Too cold of a glass makes styles like IPA taste off and hides the taste of an amber. Though making a beer as cold as possible works great for beers such as High Life or Coors Light.

The only beers that are served ice cold out of a frosted mug are bud light, coors light, etc. The reason why they are served that way is to hide the shitty flavor.

Frosted mugs and glasses aren't for women, they're for ignorant people.

I know a lot of women that enjoy good beer.

As for the original topic, draft (when fresh) is the best, then bottles and cans are a toss-up. Bottles have long been the standard for good beer while cans have been the standard for cheap shite, but cans are coming around. As far as keeping the beer fresh cans probably work a little better, no chance for light to get in.

As do I but I am also familiar with the concept of hyperbole.

Which is a valid point and has nothing to do with "for women."

And yes I am familiar with hyperbole. Sometimes it is just misused.

unless it's an ale or stout, draft beer sucks.

Draft is clearly the best.

Bottles only when you don't have access to draft of the beer you want.

No beer worth drinking comes in a can. Period.

One guy says:

"unless it's an ale or stout, draft beer sucks."

another guys says:

"Draft is clearly the best.

Clearly they are both overgeneralizations.

Dale's Pale Ale from Oskar Blues comes in a can and is excellent. Just one example.

And the list of draft beers that are not ales or stouts that are good is long.

That's one of the first that came to mind. Ten Fidy from Oskar Blues is a fantastic imperial stout... in a can.

Beers taste different to me from the different carriers. Same with Coke.

for example:

Coke tastes best Out of a

Bottle
Can
fountain





plastic bottles


Beer is kind of the same way. I don't care for foster's out of the can at all but i love it from the tap. Bud Lite and Miller Lite are drinkable out of a can but taste like beer water from a tap.

There are definitely varying degrees of taste for each vessel.

I disagree. Dales is a decent beer on draft. out of the can its not very good. Gordon's Ale by Oskar Blues is a Red IPA and good on draft but dulled down out of a can.
