Question

What is better - beer on: tap, bottle, can?

Answer 1

tap!

Answer 2

This is the order in which I like:

bottle, tap/draft, can.

Can is ALWAYS my last choice because it tastes too metallic in a can. Bottle is freshest.

Answer 3

All beer taste better on tap if it's fresh, properly poured, clean lines, is pushed by CO2 and not air (party pumps suck and kill the keg within 8hrs), glass (no plastic)etc...

Keg beer has no presevatives, and is always kept cold. If no draft beer is available, try pouring your bottle beer into a glass. It releases the aroma and carbonation. Awesome.

Cans are only good for beaches and recycling. Unless you have those aluminum bottles that Anheuser Busch makes. Talk about good and cold. Try one.

Edit - Don't listen to the "bartender". Kegs are fresher than bottles or cans. Most domestic draft beer only has a 50 day shelf life. Bottles and cans have 110 - 120. So when kegs make it into the bars, they are only 3 - 7 days old. Most package beer already has atleast 30 days on it.

Answer 4

Bottle will be more fresh b/c Kegs only last approx 6 weeks.  For the best taste out of a bottle make sure its chilled and pour it into a cold beer mug or glass, make sure to tip the glass slightly, this way it gets the foam on top and you get the full flavour out of the beer. Enjoy safely

Answer 5

love the bottle but switched to can for recycling
