I had a couple pitchers with Steven Zack and Rick Davis a couple months ago at Bowlero. I wish craft beer places would do pitchers too. I’ll start asking for pitchers when I go to Incinerati and Pendragon now.

I just recommended it at Incinerati. We’ll see what happens, don’t get your hopes up.

Pitcher beer is well in full affect in LA, HpB is a great place for that!

As for bottle or can drinking, I have to disagree with you Mikey… can sippin is the ultimate power move! Drop a can, get beer on the floor, drop a glass bottle get beer and glass shards on the floor.. now everyone and pets need to watch their steps!

Also, cans are way easier to recycle and you get more beer money then the heavy glass you have to carry to and from you Ford Ranger to the recycling center!

Cheersing you with my beer can!

You make great points, Chew! All accurate and I never (well, rarely) have a bottle by the pool - all cans.

But I still like drinking from glass over aluminum.

Cans are just so much more safe and easy to transport. Remember when so many breweries didn't have their own canning system (or shared) and your take-home choice was crowlers, growlers, or...none?

However I'm totally with you that drinking FROM the can just seems less satisfying. My first choice is to pour into a glass, but if that's not an option, drinking from a bottle is definitely preferable.

Sadly, due to supply chain issues, I think glass bottles are on the endangered list.

Pitchers. Boss move with a craft beer. I don't think I've truly seen this in use since I was a kid and the parents went for these at Pizza Hut. Pizza and a pitcher!

Definitely cans are better overall. You know it’s all we seemed to talk about on the Perfect Pour when cans started making a DENT and we were all about it.

We just took Jay and Pittsburgh Tom to Art District brewing on their last visits. That place is amazing. I didn’t see the pitchers. It’s probably better that we didn’t, though we may not have ever left. 🤣 I prefer bottle drinking too, 100%!! Have a great week, Cheers!! 🍻

I'm not sure about *any* canned food is bpa free, quick searching is very unclear, I'm thinking they still use bpa.

Bombers, man those were the days, can't remember the last time i saw one.

That being said, many of the best beers are really only able to be found in cans... :-/

Yeah, I'll never get over that one, unless they came back someday.

Yeah that's kinda what I was thinking about the cans too... I wouldn't trust at all that they are ALL bpa free.

Yep, it's cans or scraps now. Which is mostly fine, I just worry we'll lose bottles all together someday.
