That you can't taste a difference does not negate the fact that I can. Your link, from 2009, says that if your aluminum can uses a lot of recycled material and if your bottle does not and if your bottle has been shipped a long way, the edge glass has over aluminum goes down. It doesn't disappear. It also doesn't account for buying fucking beer cans from Japan. It also says Point to the aluminum. No, not that one. That one's steel.Honestly, I've never tasted a difference, and I used to drink a lot of beer, both in quantity and variety.
Once again, it's a bit mixed.
Glass bottles would make more environmental sense if they were refillable, as they are in parts of Europe and Canada.
