So... for you old guys that remember the day, how was it? (running and ducking)  
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

I still prefer buying it in buckets.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

Bottles old the flavor better, but there are a lot of advantages to tinned (canned) beer, such as;
1. If you drop it, it probably won't break. Might turn into a fountain when you open it, but it won't break.
2. You can get more tins than bottles into your panniers (saddle bags).
3. You can't flatten a bottle and put under your sidestand when parking on soft stuff.
4. You can't flatten empty bottles to make the rubbish bin hold more.

Beer's worse in cans warms up quicker.
Honestly, I tendto brew my own, and since I haven't figured out how I'd seal up those pop-tops it is all in bottles.

I like mine best from the keg. No preservatives, and you can drink it straight from the straw attachment.

You can use these for bottles:  I have used the strike-plate on door jambs on many occasions for bottles

I've seen guys open bottles with their eye socket. Really. Teeth, another one... But a good ol' standby was the butt end of a bic lighter. It was the 'manly' way to open a bottle. Now (at least in these parts) they're all twist top. Takes the fun right out of it!

Open bottles with their eye socket?  You're kidding right? Hope so I've seen plenty of people use their teeth and that makes me cringe I used to love love the way the keys for old electrical panels doubled up as a bottle opener, bit of forward thinking from the designers there. Made sure you never lost it. And I haven't

I quit drinking in 1987, but I remember it never stayed in the can long enough to lose its chill, once it was opened.

back in '87 I'd say it didn't have a chance to get warm on me either.
Now I tend to prefer quality over quantity. savoring it more - so it takes a bit longer.

don't forget that cans are perfect for float trips, as cans will float in the event your canoe flips... but, those new aluminum bottles will sink and be gone

One of the great joys of canoe trips - watching a case of beer and a half-drowned cooler floating down the river by themselves.
