More for practical reasons i suppose. I like the softer carbonation that some of them afford. Handy hint for northerners: wizz your canned beer up in an electric food mixer for that authentic 'ruined through a sparkler' condition.paul garrardhttp://www.realaleblog.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-71204426264291935332011-02-10T15:26:21.792+00:002011-02-10T15:26:21.792+00:00That's a lot better than people who buy Tesco ...That's a lot better than people who buy Tesco Value Bitter for their guests :-(Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-25859039351754440562011-02-10T13:59:07.821+00:002011-02-10T13:59:07.821+00:00Cans fulfil a purpose and if someone is coming to ...Cans fulfil a purpose and if someone is coming to stay who isn't very discerning about beer, I don't waste money trying to educate them; I just buy some cans of Cains Bitter from Asda.
