    Weirdly craft beer judges prefer cans decanted into glasses than bottles. I personally prefer bottles over cans and draught above both. Speaking of tequila, my go to drink after beers is usually whiskey water (spelled that way as it’s usually a bourbon), but thinking of making the move to tequila soda.

      I think it’s generally because glass bottles can let light hit the beer, and hops are photosensitive (light-struck beer will have a skunky aroma and taste). Brown bottles are the best at blocking light. Clear and green bottles are pretty bad. Cans obviously block all light.

      I think most of the time, brown bottles are just fine, but the judges probably have a bit of bias here on their preferences.
