Another one from the mad box:

Bronher - The Drunk Hop Lager.

From Spain, very sweet, slightly honey flavoured, rich lager. Nice, but probably wouldn't choose it again.

Best one yet. Vocation Brewery - Them & US Red IPA, lovely.

Rich but with a sort of tropical fruit freshness too. Class beer.

Tis all the rage in the brewing community mate, cheaper, more environmentally friendly and according to many better for the beer ad it keeps the light out. Apparently there's been a lot of work done on cans to remove the chance of a metallic taste. I've had a few over the last year or so and they've been fine.
Embrace the tinny my friend.

I'm not quite buying into that mate. Surely recycling the bottles an storing correctly is the way to go ?

Can't get my head around decent beer out of a tin. The only one I ever had that was good was - Kriek.

I only ever buy green or dark brown bottles for the reason you mention about the light mate. Kills the yeast .

It's not just the end result mate, it's also to do with weight, storage, air/road miles.
Just what I've heard off a few brewers like.

Brilliant brewert, yet to even have an average beer by them.

I see where they are coming from, but it's a leap towards industrial brewing/distribution away from quality micro-brews imo.
It'll probably end up like uk brewed tramps whaz
