TOPIC:

If you look at the can itself above the word 'Pale Ale' it says 'Can Conditioned'... Im dubious if they actually pulled this off...

Personally I'm looking forward the the first widely available Craft Beer-in-a-Box, a-la the popular wine in a box series available in your supermarket...

Will they write 'Bag Conditioned' on the box though? I think you'll agree It lends a certain largesse to the brand that just can't be bought... Mmmmm all this and 'bag-conditioned' too!!

Ok, Can-conditioned is possible on reflection... but does can conditioning also include the by-product 'metallic taste' that all canned beers seem to enjoy? If so it doesn't seem like something to shout about.

I await the first beer-in-a-box (or polypin) that labels itself 'bag-conditioned'...

I've never polled it but it's always something I've observed. Others might let us have their thoughts... I'd be interested to get feedback.

Can't you tell the difference between Canned beers and Bottled beers? By the taste?

Do you think the objection to SNPA in cans is purely aesthetic? I assumed the thing that was 'outraging' people on here was the taste implications. The aesthetics argument seems a weak one.
