the same way people call us beer snobs for looking at the colour and aroma of the beer we happen to be drinking rather than just skulling it.
generalisations are a bad thing.
unless you are talking about dutch gold drinkers in whitch case they are all scobies <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> *

My question was really, if you go into the off license and you beer of choice is available in both bottle and can,would you,
a choose bottle over can if the price was the same,
b choose bottle over can evan if the bottle was dearer.
Assuming no widgets or other foul play, can both times. Here I think it's only going to come up, for me, with Budvar. And with the green glass bottles it's a no-brainer.

There possibly is
If you are canning a beer , you batch pasteurise , as far as I know , then can it , there's a shorter open time from dispense into the can to sealing .
If you are bottling a beer , it's poured into the bottle , sent around the line pasteurised enroute to the capping station and a tiny jet of water is injected to fizz it up a little before capping .
THis takes about 25 mins on the bottling line I saw
If you take the same batch of beer and carbonate it identically , the canned one will probably retain more carbonation .
