Why drink Canned beer? Australian Brewery explains!

For many, there’s nothing better than a cold tasty beer – have you ever wondered why beer in a can tastes a bit better than beer from a glass bottle?  Our mates at the Australian Brewery have a simple explanation

When we received a six-pack of cans it seemed to us that it’s just not as common to find canned beer today as it once was – perhaps that’s about the cost of production? Because as far as the guru’s at the Australian Brewery can explain there is one good reason to go for a can – Quality.

Published on their own website, the team reckon there is no better way of getting the quality beer to customers than in a can – because there are three key things which work hard to kill the flavour of beer – Light, Oxygen and Heat.

The UV light which gets into the bottled beer can break down the delicate aromas and flavours in beer, something that just doesn’t happen in a can.

It’s not something the drinker would consider, but it’s apparently easier to fill cans than bottles while keeping the oxygen levels low.

While the metal can might seem to be a bigger problem when it comes to heat, if you look for cans with plastic coating (such as the Australian Brewery) they transmit heat at the same rate as glass bottles.

All that, plus some environmental benefits to production, transport and recycling of cans.
