Canned Beer Comeback
Dana Mathewson
I
have to say this whole idea caught me by surprise. When I was younger,
canned beer was considered a convenience ONLY. You drank canned beer
because
- Bottled beer wasn't available at your location
- You were at a park that didn't allow glass
- You were drinking with a bunch of lower-class schlubs who didn't give a damn as long as it was beer and it was cold
- A
six-pack of canned beer weighed less than a six-pack of bottles, you
and the guys had to carry the stuff in by hand and you were going for
volume
- other reasons
But beer in cans
somehow always represented the "redneck fringe" or the lower end of the
scale -- even though most rednecks preferred longnecks. Now here are
professional beer writers https://www.foodandwine.com/news/yards-philadelphia-pale-ale] waxing rhapsodic over canned beer? The world
has truly changed, and I'm not sure I can catch up with it.
