    This last 4 months has seen me drink less than I’ve ever done in my drinking life, I’m all or nothing with booze anyhow, tea total for a month or a good old bender but when I have drunk over last 4 I’ve realised I much prefer bottled ale as opposed to the other 2, I’m into Moretti at the minute, when it first come to pumps I tried to like it and thought it was ***** but these bottles are absolutely lovely!!

    What’s your preference and brand too?

    Mine are;
    Moretti
    Holsten Pils
    Becks
    Bud

    All 4 I prefer in the bottle too

    Can’t say I’ve tried stones, am partial to most alcoholic beverages but bottles are the way forward plus you can drink twice as many and not feel as bad :D:D:D

    In a pub it's a pint. No other format needs to exist.

    Cans all the way outside the pub though. Better for the beer, better for the environment, better for you.They get cold quicker as well.

    Why are cans better for the environment than glass bottles?

    Lower carbon footprint, (lighter therefore easy to transport, less packaging), more recycled material than glass. One downside is the requirement to have alluminium in the first place but there's also a lot recycled.

    Don't mind a Moretti but wouldn't choose any of the other 3 unless there wasn't anything better on offer. I'd sup almost anything if desperate enough :) I have become partial to a Brewdog Punk IPA. (Staying on brand from Redfearn's :) - although I'm usually driving on a matchday).
    That said, I've had about 24 cans in total since a couple of weeks before lockdown started. Never really been one to drink at home and my wife doesn't drink.

    It's got to be draught for me, the other options are too fizzy.
    Otherwise bottled, then canned, although I drink more canned as it's easier to open and easier to get rid of the cans.

    What if you have your own cooler, bar and also use the same barrel as the local does.

    Am I more green, or less? (Than glass or cans bought so to speak)
    Just curious :)

    I love Brew York, I've had a couple of variety crates from them during lockdown. Some really interesting beers
