ANY beer is better from a bottle. Should be poured into a glass, not drunk
from the container.

Yes. There are several. HTH :-)

The only time beer is better in a can is when I am having my favorite
junkfood combo, a can of Budweiser and a Hostess berrie pie. Something
about the aluminum twang and the rice hulls of the Bud commingling
with the dyes and artificial flavors of the HBP. Just doesn't work
with a longneck. Other than that, no.

I haven't been camping in a long time but I can promise you we don't carry
glasses around when we do. Plastic cups, sure 🙂 We even have some
"swanky" plastic wine glasses <G>

Some of the Brit imports like Guinness and Stoddington's (I think -- it's in
the yellow and black can) have the little rattle-ball that supposedly has
nitrogen or something that makes the beer fresh... or so the advertising
hype says. It's still fun to rattle the can at parties...

Guinness is Irish Bubba made in Dublin at St. James Gate. I think the other
one you refer to is Boddingtons, "The Cream of Manchester". Guinness in the
can is the Guinness most like that available in Ireland. I am enjoying one
at the moment! The Guinness in the keg, while it can be very good depending
on how it has been treated and served, is not as close to the real Irish
Guinness. The bottled Guinness in the small bottle, is Guinness "Export
Extra Stout" and stands on its own as a separate subspecies of Guinness all
over the world. The new Guinness in the large bottle, while it is not
marketed as such, is a "light" stout and, as such, is an abomination.

Boddingtons can be found in the keg in the U.S. and is quite good and is
near the Manchester quality. Boddingtons in the can is also very good. I
have never seen it in a can.

The thing that makes both of these canned beers outstanding is the
multi-million dollar development of the "widget" (which is a Guinness
trademark) in the can. It does contain nitrogen as do the feed lines of the
Guinness keg. It allows the remarkable freshness of the beer in the cans. As
Guinness expanded, other beers gained the technology. I assume that Guinness
(or its new corporate partners) has licensed the use of the widget as I have
seen it in Murphy's Stout (nasty, unless you are a Corkman), and Beamish
Stout (very nice indeed and also from Cork).

Somebody says that Guinnes is a good canned beer, too, but I
don't like black beers.

Hey, if you shake a beer can and just open it, it should spray
half or more of its contents around, a-la Formula 1 podium 🙂
Is Guinnes less sparkling than other beers? Or is this
rattle-ball so well designed to prevent it?

This explains the "rattle-ball" or widget in cans of Guinness and other
European brews in cans...

When you're camping, canned beer in a plastic cup is right up there
with Chanel No. 2 Deep Woods Formula and porta-potties. <G>

Porta-potties? We dug holes in the ground, dear. Latrines, as it were,
well downwind of the isolated campsite 🙂 We *did* take toilet paper and
filled the holes back in before we left. The bath was a resevoir in which
we swam and we cooked over wood we'd gathered. Some thoughtful government
agency had carted in some white sand and my dog Sampson had a big time
running up and down the "beach" next to the water. A good time was had by
all.

Would you like to rephrase this, or is it really just supposition? ;-)

Guinness, Kilkenny, Boddingtons, etc. With the little widget. Better on
tap, but where that's not an option, I'll take it in a can.

If the can is really big, say a quarter-barrel, then you have plenty of
choices.
