onlymedication said: I agree that the likelihood of skunked beer is higher with cans,... Urban myth alert! Skunked beer is due to light exposure which leads to chemical reactions that generate in particular a compound called 3-MBT (google it). This is impossible to happen in cans but very much a possibility with bottles. Even if you are scrupulous to keep da beer outta da sun, the shop you bought it from might not have been. There have been many blind tests that showed that experienced testers could not distinguish beer from cans ("mini kegs") from bottles, once both were poured in a glass. These guys take their beer seriously, and they come down nearly unanimously on the canned side: http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/thoughts-on-canned-vs-bottled-beer.142079/

Canner here, I like the "compress-ability". Just wish they'd figure out a way to compress the full ones! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
But to each their own!

Well, if you want compact beer, how about an envelope. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Sick.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

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.

Breeze said: Our guys always preferred bottles, but then you also have the issue of cardboard cases the bottles come in. While the cases are easy to store, and protect the glass bottles inside, you risk bringing " livestock" aboard the boat, too. Pays yer money, takes yer choice.
Breeze We always buy bottles -- and we always empty the cases BEFORE we store the beer below -- we have never had breakage. We use a cooling system <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> We put some beers in the bottom of the freezer, some into a cooler with ice secured under the salon table, some get stored. Then...we rotate - beers going from freezer to cooler means our ice lasts a little bit longer. And we always get an extra cooler from the charter company to have in the cockpit. Never had a problem with "livestock" on board in the last 5 charters <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
