Does it not get exhausting being so controversial all the time?

I was saying it more with the majority of wines in mind, most of which are meant to be drunk when young (even if they have a cork stoppage). Even a screw cap will allow for some evaporation though. If you ever see old (unopened) bottles of spirits for sale online you'll note a lot have lost about 10% or more due to it. Spirits would be more prone to evaporation too though I think.

Well I think the bloke in critical condition might consider himself a victim like But you have to wonder how many more Roma fans went 'prepared' after Liverpool's antics at home in the last round.

Actually I find that with Brew Dog I prefer their canned / bottled stuff anyway. I find their stuff on tap too flat. I'm not a massive one for beer these days anyway mind. Was just a general heads up about not ignoring canned beer because of concerns about quality

Does the £40m net spend include the £100m we're going to get when PSG sign Mitrovic after the World Cup? -
He's been doing shit since he took up the post

Aye, it's worth knowing for that reason, I wasn't just trying to be a smart arse (for a change). You'll notice a lot of 'craft breweries' now use cans. It's also more cost effective because they're lighter / easier to transport but they wouldn't do it if it had a negative effect on quality because the micro / craft breweries only have an advantage over the big boys by providing a better quality product. But the perception remains, which is why many still use bottles (and of course they'll have bottling facilities in place so it would be an expensive risk to replace all that). It's a bit like wine where a screw cap is better than a wooden or synthetic cork but people see the latter as being more 'high end'. One thing you could do it try it out as stuff like Brew Dog (or even a half decent lager like Beck's) is available in both cans and bottles. If you did a genuine 'blind taste' then I bet you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the bottled one and the one out of a can. Except the older it was the more the one in the bottle would deteriorate.

We chatted about in the secret forum and decided to breach it on this occasion

A can is actually the best method of storage for a beer because it's completely airtight and it keeps out any light. There's a myth that's been perpetuated that the can taints the taste but this is because, if you drink it directly from the can, you can slightly smell the metallic aroma, which in turn effects your perception of taste. I.e. drink it out of a glass then it's not an issue.

The OFFICIAL Transfer Rumours Thread 2018 -2019
Alex replied to Anorthernsoul's topic in Newcastle Forum
Tbf, when he posted that he’d never seen him play before -
And while I'm fucking at it, the crack about Pickford getting one over on us. Apart from our only having two shots on target, what possible satisfaction can they derive from that? He's one of the best talents the club has produced in recent years and not only is he going to be plying his trade at a club two divisions above them next season but the exorbitant fee they somehow managed to obtain has all been spunked on servicing their debt
