I can't recall ever havign a skunky beer from a can.

I recall Heinekens fro ma bottle  always seemed skunky, they have improved over the years.

Todd...you read my mind,,(doesn't take much )  a local place has both of these on tap so we flip a coin for the evenings beverage....

 

Killians is gaining popularity too....

Count me among those that likes Killians but Labatts Blue ranks a close second.

indeed, beer in a can NEVER gets skunked.  neither does beer in a dark glass bottle.  do we have any scientist on the board with glasses as thick as bullet proof glass who can figure this out for us?

If the UNC linky didn't say so, you are correct Roscoe. "Skunking" is caused by exposure of beer to UV light. You can counter it with preservatives, [cough, Corona], but that adds another dimension of taste problems.

Forgot to add. I recommend trying Magic Hat beers. They are out of Burlington, VT. I know you can get their stuff at Beers of the World and I think Colony in Buffalo carries their stuff. All their offereings are good, but the No. 9 is great on a hot summer day.

don't quote me on this, but what you have said, is wrong.  skunking does not happen because of temperature changes.  that is an old wives tale...

research it

Once a beer is cold it should remain cold, this is true. But the skunk flavor comes from the wavelength of light that is allowed to pass through green or clear bottles.

Warsteiner draft - preferably drunk in the country of origin.

Stella Artois - likewise - Leuven is a sweet little Belgian town.

 

I could be a beer snob, but I'm not.

Cold and wet is my preferred brand of beer.

 

But I have to say that the Monks in Munich got it right the first time when they began messing with this stuff: Water, Hops, Malted Barley, and yeast.

Add anything else and it become sour wizz if you have any taste buds left in your mouth.

Stella Artois

Excellent.

 

My favorite widely available: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

 

Other favorites:

Saranac Pilsner (when it can be found)

Brooklyn Pilsner

 

Another great one (though pricey): Spatan

 

Anyone ever have Le Fin du Monde by Unibroue? It's great. But, be warned, it has twice the typical alcohol content for beer, almost as much as some white wine (9%).
