beer! bottle, can or draught?
Discussion
I'm really fussy apparently.
I love 1664 from a bottle but not tins or draught
Tennents is good from tin, cack from everything else
Carlsberg export is good from bottle and sometimes draught
Guinness, draught only
Stella, can only
Peroni, bottle only
Cobra, draught onl
Am I weird? I have mates who will drink any beer, any way.
Even when it's piss-warm

The OP has a point.
Lager: Bottles only. In a can it always tastes metallic and draught lager in the UK seems to be redirected straight from the urinals.
Guinness, Boddingtons, Tetley's etc. taste best on draught but are suprisingly close in a can, I wouldn't bother with bottles.
Ale: Mainly draught, sometimes in bottles but they never seem to capture the proper flavours.

Usually bottles
But as a fan of guiness and a lack of a consistant draught in the local I bought myself a "Surger Unit" a few years back. Not usually one for gadgets but it consistantly gives me the best guiness I've had outside Ireland.
Only problem is getting the cans (and I've only a few left)
Not Beer but the biggest difference I've tasted is "K" Cider, was fantastic in those black bottles but tasted pish from a can
