My can is better than your can

And the fight continues to see who has the better can. I just cant wait to find out who wins!

Oh, wait, yes I can.

They have those vents so college kids can slug down the swill as fast as possible. BRILLIANT! At least they wont need to taste it not that they could anyway with the beer chilled to 33 degrees to kill the taste buds.

After watching Beer Wars it is completely obvious why they arent arguing about what beer tastes better but are now focusing on who has the better can or bottle as there simply is not a real or unique "taste." Regardless if one is deemed to be superior to another, to this home brewer it just doesnt matter, as you see, I use a GLASS!

The last can I had from them wasn't refreshing at all....
It was all crunchy and had this metallic taste, blech...
Might have been infected or something though.

The true sign of companies that have given up on their product.
Good judgment comes from experience, which comes from poor judgment.

What matters is what is in the can. Bud and Coors can slug it out all they want because both of their products are crap. SunKing Brewery in Indy cans all their standard beers and all are great. Once poured into a glass I cannot tell them apart from draft.

You know? After watching the little clip at the bottom of the article I have to say I'd buy me a whole bunch of those cans if they didn't come with that crappy beer inside.
Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into
Are awake through years with transferred touch and go on glowing
For long years.
And for this reason some old things are lovely
Warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.

Just one question: After draining and washing, how do you recap a can? Do I need a bench capper? I think the wing capper will crush it.

yeah i think they call those "can crushers" :lol:
"Filled with mingled cream and amber
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-- Quaintest thoughts -- Queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."
