Never drink beer from a Can? Lucky you didn't say that out loud in Australia, it's grounds for deportation!

I would also never drink beer from a can. All I'd taste is the can. Chilled mug 90% of the time, bottle the other 10%. I also hate when the bartender uses the same glass twice. It's nothing but laziness. If I notice them reusing someones glass, I'll make sure mine has a napkin of some trash left in it. It's never an issue locally, the bartenders all know what I want, and how I want it. A couple of nights ago I was out and ran into a new bartender at a bar I hang out at. When she asked me what I wanted, I said, "I'm thirsty, hungry and horny, choose any two." Without missing a beat she slid the peanuts over in front of me and asked what I wanted to drink. Oh well, maybe next time.
I prefer bottles.....drink drafts for economic reasons at my bar.......but am NOT a beer snob.... I have and will drink beer from cans.....beer is good.
And I know it's cliche Bondi, but I love the occasional "Oil Can" every now and again......(large 32oz Fosters).....

Maybe it is a climate thing. I tend to drink from bottles when at home. I love drinking beer from the tap when I am out. But in summer, In Sydney, when it is hitting temps over 30C a can just stays so cold in an esky (cooler/icebox?) it tastes like gold!
I also hate that.... can't drink from a warm glass

I guess the morale of the story is that beer is good to drink no matter what the device is that is holding it until it passes through your lips...
Those BIG cans are hard to come by in Australia.... but we do have Long Necks. Do you guys have those?
long necks yes , the big cans are getting a little more popular speciallly in the big city's they lead ya to believe its better value , when ya do the math its usually the same cost..
Holy Shit, the name escapes me right now.... but I have flashbacks ot my childhood!
