Can or Tin

[GrandOldTeam]

Do you say "a can of beer" or "a tin of beer"*

Cans in ours, or tins in ours.

Get us a can there, get us a tin there.

* This is part of my ongoing forum profiling.

I'd love to call them Tins, but it just sounds wrong when I do. I don't have the necessary cool points to pull it off, so sadly Can it must be

 

[nsno-chris]

Tin is most definitely for wools

 

[Kiwi]

Can.
Tinned Beer is just mental.

Massive bag of cans with the lads.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I expect the "Tin" count to rise once the Scots start voting

Can of lager, tin of beans. A hearty and wholesome meal.

Cans in ours. Tins of beans.

If we sign Sandro and Keane, it's ALL the cans in ours.

 

[a bell maul]

Sometimes tin eg a tin of spaghetti, a tin of peaches etc - but always a can of beer

Unless they are aluminium.

Can, since most are aluminium cans these days, for reasons of weight. Tinned steel cans are heavier and more expensive, and unnecessary in beer which isn't necessarily very acidic.

A mate of mine who's worked in the industry for Bass, Coors, interbrew etc says its cans. So obviously it's 'tins' when he's in earshot.

I live in the land of 'The Tinnie'...which also for some reason what they call a small aluminium boat too.

Tin or can beer tastes better from a bottle.

Can obvs.
