I have found that the viscosity of camping fluid varies greatly depending on regional variations.

wow, I have turn mine down or it will freeze my beer! I stock my fridge when we get to camp (keep them in a cooler before) because with all the bounce the rear of the trailer gets on the trip the SBS (shaken beer syndrome) can be catastrophic!

get some bubble wrap lay it down and put a layer in between each layer of bottles keeps them from rattling and sliding. also acts as an insulator and helps keep cool.

I have not had any problems other than the door popping open. It can only open a couple of inches, but enough to where you open the outdoor kitchen door and you get a big surprise. I noticed the newer models have added a built in strap to secure the door. For now I have been using a piece of duct tape.

Switch to a cheap beer for a while... You will love the taste of the good canned beer after that

Just for the record, I don't care for beer from cans either. I was suggesting "aluminum bottles" also known as "bottlecans" in some areas. These don't have the bad taste like traditional cans do...or at least nowhere near as much.

What's the difference between cans and "aluminum bottles"? I know they are thicker but coated with the same polymer inside aren't they? My main beef with drinking from a can is you always have to wash the tops and you get a lot more head when the beer agitates over the raised lip. Pouring is even worse. I like the idea of an aluminum bottle pouring the same as glass though. Have to give it a try.

I've seen these once or twice as promotional items. I don't think they sell them on a regular basis in Canada. I can't see there being a big difference between those and regular cans though.

If beer is fresh and poured into a glass, it doesn't matter if it comes from a can or bottle, it will have the same taste. Drinking directly from a can will give you a different taste though, as the top is not coated, that's where the "aluminum" taste comes from. On aluminum bottles, the coating is rolled to the outside and there is minimal, if any, aluminum contact. A slow steady pour from a can will produce the best results. As for beer in a fridge, I assume your fridge has shelves like mine does. I position my shelves so that I can stack 2 high. Even with a half empty fridge, at the back of a 42' 5er, I have never lost a bottle. My door is strapped shut, and I'm always slow to open it, so that nothing comes rolling out, would hate to lose one that way.

I'm not a fan of the taste of cans either......but they are convenient and a lot lighter. Camping is the only time I buy cans.

What I did was to pack them in tight and use a hook and eyelet on the door and side of the fridge to keep them in place during transit. Also, my fridge would have the beer icing up, so I must have had a good one!

For the cans, I have been told that guiness did something to make their canned beer taste like bottled. This comes from my dad who is a beer snob.

Guinness from a can is good if it is poured into a cold pint glass. I prefer beer straight from the cooler. Even at home.

Guinness should never be in a cold glass

Didn't or doesn't Keystone Beer advertise that they have a special lining in their beer cans to help do away with the aluminum taste?

Are those bottlecans 12 or 16 oz? I've seen them,but never looked closely.

I'm in the Give Me Glass corner when it comes to beer containers as well as preferring food in glass containers over plastic or aluminum.

Glass is what I grew up with and I ain't changing if I got a choice.
