>>> When Will Canned Beer Explode?
It never happened to me, but I have had exploding canned pineapple in the cupboard. Nasty stuff, it doesn’t clean off completely from the shelf.
Does it count?
They blow up real good when holed by a 30-06 bullet. That is not the best use of either the beer or the bullet, however.
I prefer bottles. Aluminum adds a taste if you drink it from the can. If you pour it into a glass it is better. With a bottle just drink it from the bottle. The glass has no taste. The aluminum does. Or maybe it’s just me.
Back packed a can of brew to the top of Pike’s Peak; to celebrate I opened the can; it explodes at 14,000 feet. Really explodes!
They has been sitting on the shelf at least since 1980. Still intact and with beer in them.
I don’t drink beer - allergy (give me rye, scotch or sake instead). But I will attest to Coca-Cola being much better out of the short bottles than out of a can or long bottle...despite them telling me they are the same product. They do taste different.
I definitely get a sight aluminum taste when drinking beer from a can. It’s a similar taste to that I get when polishing aluminum motorcycle cases.
It’s not just you.
Before I joined the army, I drank mass-produced American beer from the can like it was water.
When I got stationed in Germany at Field Station Augsburg, I chose to live on the economy in a small German suburban town (Gablingen) close to the field station, rather than staying within the confines of the American bases in Augsburg and being bussed to the station every day.
In Gablingen, my beer was delivered to my doorstep in cases of bottles, like milk used to be delivered in the US in the 50s and 60s. This was Bürgerbraü, the beer locally brewed in Augsburg. I went through about two cases per week, before I found my self on the fat-boy program.
Once, when I had to wait too long for my soon-to-be ex-wife to shop at the PX on the American base in Augsburg, I wanted a beer and all they had was a can of Budweiser. I took one sip and literally almost puked.
I’ve been a bottle man (preferably imported) ever since.
And they make a great fashion statement!
I’ve never drank beer in cans...well maybe once or twice back in high school. As a self described beer snob I always pour my beers from a bottle into logoed beer glasses.
I collect beer glasses in all styles and have maybe 40 or 50 in my freezer.

Yum!
Me gusta Corona, en la botella o enlatando.
(Bottled or canned.)
Depends on which you prefer - the taste of beer, or the taste of metal.
With some of the Yuppie specials these days, I can understand them preferring the taste of metal. But if one drinks real beer, the inert glass is a much better choice.
Those little bottles of Coke are probably made in Mexico. They are using actual sugar as opposed to high fructose corn syrup. It's not surprising that you can tell the difference.
When you shoot it.
I also drank beer mostly from cans, like water, prior to joining the Army.
I was stationed in Pirmasens and lived off base about a half block from the local brewery (Parkbrau).
I can't remember ever drinking from cans again after I left Germany.
