    Every bottled version of something I've tried, has tasted much better than its canned equivalent.

    Totally agree mate. Similar place opened in castleford called blackbird - they have loads of double ipas which are about 7/8% north of a fiver as you say but very nice. I’m spending fortunes with them at the moment and probably should stop....

    It might not ‘have to be’ but it is.

    And more than you think. A glass milk bottle is a totally sealed system but typically only gets reused 4 times :)

    Just done a quick Google search, many numbers come back for number of times a milk bottle is reused, none are as low as 4 with the highest being 50.

    If it came out of the mouth of Greg "the arsehole" Wallace then I wouldn't believe it.

    For health reasons I've had to reduce my beer drinking (wasn't a massive drinker since I had kids anyway), so I'm happy to spend £5/6/7 on a can as I only tend to have one or two in any sitting. I also don't drink on consecutive days. I'm currently buying twice what I drink each week.

    More or less stopped drinking beer at home.
    Mostly drinking Pino GrIgio.

    But If I do drink beer it’s ....... Wold Gold.
    Tesco sell it.
    Try it.

    But bottles aren't necessarily recycled in the way cans are. They're washed! Surely that's by far the best way of recycling.

    True but mostly they aren't recycled this way and that's because research showed there's bugger all difference in the cost of a deposit style recycling scheme and melting them down and reusing them but the latter offers the companies more flexibility in not having to standardised bottles etc

    Seems to taste better from a bottle than a can. Don’t drink much at home as my mrs doesn't drink although I do enjoy a glass of port and a cuban in the garden now and again. Becks an old favorite but given a choice I’m currently favouring Peroni.

    That's because cans actually have a plastic lining inside which leaks and taints the flavour of the drink inside

    The Wold top brewery is at Hunmanby near Filey. Really nice folk run it and the beer is very good.

    This is seriously such an urban myth. It's not true at all. The reality is that the beer that normally goes in to cans is mass-produced rubbish that has a hint of an off flavour which can be described as metallic or 'tinny'.

    Cans don't taint the flavour of the drink whatsoever unless the drinks contains an ingredient that might react with it. That's why some breweries are reluctant, but not against, putting fruit beers or wild fermented beers in to cans.

    I thought plastic just leaked a flavour after a while which is why pop tastes different in cans too and why water has a shelf life
