We buy bottles for the boat and cans for the St. John NPS beaches. $50 fine for bottles in the National Park.

Skunked beer from UV light on hop compounds producing mercaptan... sure, but we've found that the bottled beer is generally fresher tasting. The cans seems to be more likely to have a strong heat shock flavor, same for a lot of the red wine we come across.

We've done side-by-side on Presidente and Heineken and bottles won over cans. But then, bottles of Hoegaarden, Schneider Weisse, Duvel, Sierra Nevada torpedo and Guiness Foreign Extra Stout beet the lagers handily.
