Bottle vrs Glass

Which is better - drinking from the bottle or from a glass?

It's a age old question, is it better to drink right from the bottle or pour it into a glass, after all why dirty up a glass if you will just have to wash it? Yes, I know that sometimes there's no choice, at the bar, in a restaurant, over your friends, and sometimes you just don't have one available. This isn't what i'm talking about. I'm saying your at home going to get a brew, will you stop to pull out the glass and make the pour? or is it not worth the effort.

Of course, if you got your canned beer, your best with a glass if you have one available. Despite every know hows - your educated argument that whats in the can is the same as what would come out of a bottle (ok this is true) - You still taste the can- i don't know about you, i will pass on the aluminum taste if I can. luckily right now it seems that bottles are the same price as cans, they take up a little more room to store but there is no taste from the container drinking from bottles
Drinking from the bottle is convenient, you get right to it, no extra step like pouring. Now it's true a good beer drinking glass will have to be cleaned, and stored. It should be special purpose, just for beer drinking, less you contaminate it with other flavors, you can even get different types of glasses depending on the type of beer you are drinking. Shopping for good glasses can get complicated, this feature, that label, what price. In the end I found a few nice ale glasses I keep around to drink from. There nice and thick to prevent easy breakage when people get drunk, although I did like my set of pilsner glasses when I had them (unfortunately - they were not nice and thick).

Now since you can tell I'm on the glass side -there is scientific proof with research done by that king of beers company for the drinking out of the glass side. With a glass you can get the perfect head, and it releases excess carbonation, thus you can drink more without feeling as full or as drunk. You get a sensory pleasure drinking from a glass, see the beers color. If you mist and freeze the glass it can be more refreshing drinking from one on a warm day. And the best argument of all, your kids don't pickup on the glass like they do with the bottles when they are at that certain impressionable age.
