I didn't even think about beer on it's side having a greater surface area exposed to the air. That was a cool read.

Can attest to some beers tasting a lot better on tap from a keg vs. bottled or canned. Magic Hat #9 being one of them.

I almost never get a beer in a bottle (and never a can) when I'm at a bar or restaurant, I always ask what's on tap. If just BMC, then I resort to bottles or no beer.
I have over 9,000 posts on "another forum", which means absolutely nothing. Mr. Beer January 2014 Brewer of the Month with all the pomp and circumstance that comes with it...

Yup, thats one reason Tuesday has become date night since at the Bailey's by me all drafts are $2 including things like Two-Hearted and Breakfast Stout. I still get a kick when the waitress asks the people coming in if they want a Bud or Miller. They stopped doing that to us as I think word got around that we wanted to slap the first one that asked us that.

Agree on the always on tap when I am out as well. The only exception is if I am somethere that doesn't carry anything good on tap, then I make that the last time I visit that establishment.

So true on that one .#9 does even come close in the bottle compared to on tap. But most taste better on tap.
