Default BOTTLED BEER

stella in particular

i have found that generally bottled stella or beer in general tastes better than canned, but recently have had few that smell quite bad and dotn taste good.

Infact during my whole beer drinkin career have had far too many to remember, which aint good?!

anyone else ever experianced this with bottled beer??

think i may stick to cans? or freshly pulled pints

Stella does me no favours!

I drink carling cos it hits the spot without turning me into a dribbling mess. Drinking out of cans is bollocks, dunno if its all in the head but the beer tends to taste a bit metallic.

Anyone else tried brahma (prob got spelling wrong), a brazilian lager which is tasty gorgeous. Nandos also sell it which is quite handy!

Seconded!

Also - really overly syrupped fast food coke can be quite special!

prefer bottles over cans, an usually prefer pints over bottles except in a club, cause youll just end up wearing half the pint with everyone bumping into you.

but had a couple of dodgy pints in the past, must of been lying in the lines.

I tried one of the best beers in my drinking career the other day called "Elephant" brewed by Carlsberg. 7.2% tastes like a carlsberg with a couple of dutch people chucked in there for good measure.

Lagers go off when you keep them in light, you have to store them away dark.

That's why most are kept in brown bottles.
For one or other reason in the UK they sell stella i think in green bottles ? so they really have to be kept out of light, oh and reasonable cool.
