On today’s Marketplace program is a short piece on the burgeoning movement of canning beer amongst craft brewers.
What I’m about to say is a matter of some debate, but good beer — really good beer — often comes from microbreweries. They typically cost more, but conventional wisdom holds microbrews are better than mass-produced fizzy yellow stuff in part because they usually come in bottles.
Whose conventional wisdom, I wonder. Certainly nobody I know.
Anyway, it’s worth a few minutes of your time. Go and give a listen.
Oh, and if you can leave comments, see if you can straighten out the doofus who said “American beer aficionadi tend to drink their beer *from the bottle.*” (I can’t seem to leave comments on the story.)
