Maybe it’s just me, but I prefer the taste of beer in bottles versus beer in cans.

Beer in cans just doesn’t taste right, IMO.

It’s not just you.

Before I joined the army, I drank mass-produced American beer from the can like it was water.

When I got stationed in Germany at Field Station Augsburg, I chose to live on the economy in a small German suburban town (Gablingen) close to the field station, rather than staying within the confines of the American bases in Augsburg and being bussed to the station every day.

In Gablingen, my beer was delivered to my doorstep in cases of bottles, like milk used to be delivered in the US in the 50s and 60s. This was Bürgerbraü, the beer locally brewed in Augsburg. I went through about two cases per week, before I found my self on the fat-boy program.

Once, when I had to wait too long for my soon-to-be ex-wife to shop at the PX on the American base in Augsburg, I wanted a beer and all they had was a can of Budweiser. I took one sip and literally almost puked.

I’ve been a bottle man (preferably imported) ever since.
