Can never drink from a can unless out in the park or at a picnic - at home it must be in a glass. A can ruins the taste.
Somehow - IMO - canned beer never tastes as good as the stuff in a bottle. The darker the bottle the better.![]()
When I went on the tour a few years ago (I recommend it, as it's free, and the location in the Distillery District is fantastic anyway), they swore that can/bottle/draught doesn't change the flavour at all, that it's all in our heads. I still refuse to believe that, of course.
I recognize KD anywhere... unless that's a knock-off brand!
I love me some Mill St. Organic, great stuff. Another beer I love for the same sort of reason (easy drinking, good flavour, not heavy) is Wellington Arkell Best Bitter, Ontario brewery and it comes in a blue can. Give it a try!
As for me I'm eating some leftover chili mixed with rice and chopped up hot dogs. Turned out to be too much rice so the chili is pretty diluted but oh well.
I had a bad experience with a lot of pints of the darker Welly two St. Patrick's Days ago. The Arkell is surprisingly thin on the ground here, but thanks to the LCBO app (so handy), I've found a location near my old work that carries it. Will grab it next time I'm by there.
The other Chef's Plate meal is a pulled pork posole that is fantastic. Searing the tomatillos in oil and a squirt of lime juice near the end turns them into delicious, gooey bites of adult candy:
