Tom Sawyer Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 How do you drink your beer? So I have read you should drink "good" beer from a glass because your nose know a good beer even better than your tastebuds. But I usually drink from the bottle. I don't want to have to wash the glass afterwards ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babycat Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I'd go for a bottle too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenJennings Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) Can. Aluminium cans get colder faster, stay colder longer, you can punch your own speed hole in them, and you can crush them against your forehead when you're done. The aluminium can is the perfect vessel for beer- especially 16oz'ers. There is no "eeew" about it! My go to, Minnesota's very own Grain Belt Premium, and I always go with the 16oz cans:http://www.artzberger.com/BeerCans/newcans/canpics/Grainbelt_16_oz0711.jpg Edited September 23, 2013 by KenJennings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta have a koozie. At a social event in Texas, people get seriously concerned if you are drinking a beer without a koozie. You get more questions and concern than if you had a black eye or your fly was down. I know people that have a koozie drawer in their kitchen. some of my family in Minnesota were really into pfieffer, although I dont think its made anymore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Bottle or glass but prefer glass if at home.I like to get the full aroma when drinking beer. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/KublaKhan/81806262.gif 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I'm a beer snob (or, the opposite of Ken Jennings :P), so I'll use a pint glass whenever possible. Like Khan said, the aroma is part of the enjoyment. Otherwise, the bottle is fine. Can't do cans -- not into the smell and taste of aluminum. The kind of snobby-ass beer I buy doesn't come in cans anyway. :hail: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a feeling my opinion on this might be taken the wrong way, sorry (that's why I said sorry in the poll) I have drank out of a can before, I would (if I was very thristy) again, but the aluminum taste ruins a good brew for me. I prefer German or Belgian beer, I'd rather have one great beer that 2 or 3 okay beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Body Electric Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) Through a beer bong (funnel, I'm 42 years old and I can still do it). Failing that, directly from a 64 oz pitcher, no glassware, mugs etc(that stuff is for sissies and pregnant women) plus if im feeling festive, I'll use a crazy straw , just because it hits faster and harder btw, neither funnel nor straw,( nor straight from pitcher for that matter) are options at all what the heck is up with that? Why must this voting poll be the screen door on my submarine? Edited September 24, 2013 by Body Electric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Body Electric Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) actually im going to try some trooper beer from iron maiden, it hasnt reached the states comercially yet but theres a brewery that has some delivered. im guesing it will be in bottle form. as for the real answer, (i was just clowning you guys, i am much to old to do any of that stuff at 42). i can still do the beer bong funnel, however, once a year is enough for me (god im not THAT awesome or self destructive)what i prefer is anything 22 oz glass or mug. usually with something like bass or smithwicks filled about halfway, then proceed to pour guinness onto an inverted spoon, letting the stout pour gently into the ale (omg, please don't screw this up, i might just go crazy) the nitrates in the guinness stout (there are other beverages, including quite a few microbrews out there that use nitration in lieu of carbonation) cause the stout to form its own layer above the ale creating perfection that's good to the last dropthats my favourite way for realzies.i do however have a glass boot, which is a great novelty and holds a lot of beer Edited September 25, 2013 by Body Electric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
