My brother has always poured into a glass. I've been doing both and found that I like it better directly from the bottle. Obviously, I'd rather have it on tap, but the kegerator didn't make the move with me. What is your preference? if it's in a bottle it's in the glass !

Paradoxically, I think I can smell it better from the bottle. so I'm quite messed up: The number one, for reals, no-joking-around reason to pour your beer in a glass is aroma. Aroma plays a huge role in how we perceive flavor, as we all know from the experience of eating while nursing a head cold — the food tastes super bland, right?! Drinking beer straight from a bottle or a can is essentially cutting off your sense of smell and changes the way the beer tastes quite significantly. Compare that to drinking beer from a glass. Pouring your beer straight down into the glass activates the carbonation and creates a foamy head. Every time one of those tiny bubbles pops, it releases a little burst of aroma. The aromas you inhale as you take a sip then mix with the tastes on your tongue, giving you a full-on flavor experience. Savor the flavor, baby! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 I'll drink dishwater before I'll drink Budweiser; but do people pour Bud into a frosty mug? I do want to drink a Hamms to see how bad it is or maybe it's not that bad? Just those old commercials from the 60s and 70s with the bear out camping and such ... beer memories. My first extended bout of drinking was when I was 13 or 14 and went camping with my hippie cousin and all her hippie friends. they let me drink as much as I wanted. It was Miller High Life ... I've not had one since, although I did go through a time of drinking Miller Genuine Draft. When I hit high school and my brother in law would let me drink, he drank Michelob. As an adult, it was mostly Moosehead, Molson, or Yukon Gold ... a Labatts every now & then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Put a lime in a Miller High Life and it's just like a Corona... albeit a bit less expensive.😉 I usually and drinking Yuengling... it's cheap, but still has a reasonable flavor. I like a lot of the pale ales out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 India Pale Ale has to be my least favorite style of all time. It's awful, but checking into the origins tells one why. Other pales are well, also pale. If it isn't a loaf of bread in every bottle, it just isn't food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like darks, Fat Tirewould befine, even Guiness, but they do get their water from the River Liffey. 😝 It's like drinking a loaf of bread.

Skelt Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Depends on the beer. Hefeweißbier must be in a glass barley beers I can drink from the bottle. under no circumstances will I drink from a green bottle or the beer init. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreG. Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Usually i´m not much of a beer drinker. But when it´s hot enough, like recently (above 92°F every day for the last two weeks in Germany now), i can savor a cool beer too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Bottle or glass. Cans suck......as does Old English 800. Use to go into a bar and order obscure beers that I knew they would not have Wiedemann, Red Stripe, Old English 800, PBR, Country Club, Colt 45, Carling Black Label, Schlitz. The 25 year old female bar tender would seem so confused........... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
