St. Patrick's Day brew
While I didn't make corned beef and cabbage yesterday and instead cooked up some jerk chicken, I did have an Irish-style beer. Tasty stuff. Not too sweet, nice hoppiness.
Conway's Irish Ale is one of a few brands I can recollect being packaged in both cans and bottles. When I was more often downloading and listening to podcasts, I tried suggesting to the guy who selects the beers John Holl et alia taste for the 'Steal This Beer' podcast to try serving them (blind - the beers are disguised when served) in each container to see if they could note a difference.
I think I've heard of differences when the beer is brewed and packaged at different facilities but you wouldn't expect the packaging in and of itself to make a difference. But I guess the proof of the beer is in the drinking.
