Island_Style Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Exactly. This is for suckers. You are paying 12oz prices for 11.3 ounces. Besides, as Hank Hill once said, "Beer from a can...It's barbaric." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marble21 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 This is just taking this to another level:The thing which makes it even dumber for me though, is that its not even to increase publicity in a new product. At least with the Beck's Vier it was to emphasise that the beer was different because it was 4% and not the usual 5% ABV. So by forgoing normality with alcoholic strength, you could also fogro normality with bottle design and try and make a big deal out of doing things differently or trying something new.This is just the same product. Changing can design on a product where people have most probably made their mind up on the product itself by now and can design will not affect preference. Doesn't make any sense to me.

BKarchitect Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Dumb. They spent a lot of money and research to create a can that looks like it has been dropped and dented. Seriously...I don't get a bow-tie vibe from that at all.Well, they'll make that money up by not having as much of their product in each can I guess.

FGWB Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 ...and is the result of several years of technological advancements...I bet I can get the same "result" if I grab a normal can and squeeze it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmoehrin Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Looks kinda cool.Their beer still tastes like monkey ass so I'm not buying it, but it is kind of a neat gimmicky thing in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbadefense1990 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Congratulations, you'll be paying the same amount for less beer.This is equivalent to when the soda industry changed the shape of their 1980s standard cans, so that there's a bell curve on the base and the sides curve at the top:Before: After: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all the same crap if it has "lite" at the end of it and doesn't require nearly any beer palate at all.Does the Miller Lite vortex bottle even do its job?It makes about .09 of a difference.

STL FANATIC Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Maybe it's the St. Louisian in me, but I'll enjoy a Budweiser from time to time. Or a Bud Select. Not a big fan of any light beers, so I don't do much Bud Light.I'm pretty into beer, and yes, I love any number of craft beers and trying as many new ones as possible.But the craft beer trend has led to this really wide spread beer snobbery that just rubs me the wrong way. There's nothing wrong with a simple American Lager from time to time. It's often more affordable and not as heavy, and it tastes fine.Now the can? Whatever. Seems kind of silly, but I don't really care. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexter Morgan Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Exactly. This is for suckers. You are paying 12oz prices for 11.3 ounces. Besides, as Hank Hill once said, "Beer from a can...It's barbaric."Can technology has greatly improved, in fact, beer from a can is much better because sun light can't get through.Bud sucks, in a bottle or can.
