Oh yeah, totally forgot. Yesterday had a head to head comparison of Bourbon vs Rye Barrel aged Vietnamese Speedway Stout at Alesmith. Both delicious, but I love Rye BA'd beers so that one won out.

Did a tour of Sun King Brewery in Indianapolis yesterday. Really neat, and very good beer. Walked away with a two-pack of their aged sour beer.

I've had this. Not a fan of the style, but objectively, it a damn fine brew.

I'm no Beer Guru, and am still surprised how many "canned" beers are so popular. Have we gone past the idea that a bottle is always better than the can?
Is it that it's just that good, so even it a can it slays a lot of competitors? Was there any truth to that idea that a bottle is always better than a Can?
I could guess it might have been true once, and can lining tech has equalized, but don't know. Just curious.

(BTW: I'm a Belgian Whore...smitten for years and really dominates my selections)

From what I've heard (no expert on the subject) the lining technology improved years ago. I think the perception that only the mass market crap stuff comes in cans and the good stuff only comes in bottles is one of the main reasons cans aren't more ubiquitous. The biggest advantages of the cans are weight reduction, stackability, durability, and ability to completely shield the contents from sunlight. I also think you're far less likely to come across a can with a faulty seal than a bottle with a faulty cap or dried cork.

From what I've heard.....

Thank you very much. Very informative!
