sad fact about Belhaven
I went and bought a six pack of one of my most favorite beers
that being Belhaven scottish ale brewed since 1541
and it has changed .....not only was it in a smaller and clear bottle
it no longer has the "kick" it used to have
and i was very disappointed... after loving
an occasional six pack for 35 years
i am moving on...
how's that heineken dark in a can?

I guess it is for someone who's really image conscious. To me, a cold Bud Light is nice when I'm covered in dirt and sweat. A real Cohiba is good anytime. I'm not concerned with my image, which anyone who knows me, including you, should know.

The two canned beers that first come to my mind as very good are Guinnes and NewCastle Brown. Also the new Gansett bock and porters are good. Some like beers just because they come in big "oil can" sizes like Fosters.

Mike-just tried the Gansett Bock and liking it. Doesnt QUITE replace the porter for me but close enough (in a different summery kind of way)
Just got the Harpoon newsletter that said they will have the IPA and summer beer available for a limited time in cans.....this indeed makes me a happy camper!

More choices  . Just announced today by Beer Advocate :
MAY 23, 2011, BROOKLYN, NY -- Brooklyn-based Sixpoint Brewery today announced the launch of its four core flavors -- Sweet Action, Bengali Tiger IPA, Righteous Ale and The Crisp -- in 16-ounce cans. The Memorial Day Weekend introduction follows several years of researching the best way to package, transport, ensure freshness, and maintain the flavor consumers have come to expect after six years of drinking Sixpoint beer exclusively on tap.

just got back from a long weekend camping in the Adirondacks... we brought 3 Oskar Blues brews... Dales Pale Ale, Gordon, and Momas Lil Pils... all excellent.. plus we had Brooklyn Brewing Ale which is good stuff as well, and harpoon IPA also in cans.... 3-4 yrs ago we only had good Canadien beer (Molsen) in cans.

Bottled tastes better for some reason. I think it keeps better on the long term. I brew my own and have drank some beers 3 years later that got lost and they tasted amazing with no metallic or plastic tastes mixed in.

Had some canned Harpoon Summer while watching the B's game tonight. Not bad at all. I'm not a big Harpoon drinker, but it's pretty good.

Newcastle nut brown is a good beer that comes in cans.
I prefer beer in dark brown glass bottles.

I've bought Newcastle in cans twice this year and both times found it lacking body...
Right now drinking a Wittekerke...one of the best Wit's out there. Basswipe, they have it at Allens and I think you'd love it if you haven't already tried it.

I know what you mean I have felt the same on some occasions. I wonder why sometimes is full bodied and others not. I am always suspicious they the outside portion of the poour spout is not totally clean. A trace of oil will totally flop the body of a beer. |

yeah exactly.... what i was trying to say 
it lacked body...McEwans was a little too syrup-y i thought
but it kicked butt and you'd be slurring your words in no time
but now, the Belhaven tasted like Newcastle to me...
goes down like coors... swill
didn't know the right term but , + thanks Spence
yes the "Body" it once had..... has vanished....  way sad
seems like every good beer is moving towards the "cheap" side |

It's the best way to have beer. You just need to go to a place that knows what they're doing and clean their lines often and sell a lot of beer, so the same tapped keg isn't sitting around for weeks. There's a definite trend towards canned beer though, as many micros are embracing this format.
