I have now learnt a few things about tasting beer.
One of the most fundamental is that it should be done from a glass as this allows the aroma and look of the beer to be properly assessed. For many years, I have insisted that I’d rather drink beer from a stubbie. This is a habit I picked up in my younger years drinking VB while leaning against mixing desks at various live music venues around town. Probably the perfect way to drink VB but not appropriate when trying to detect the subtleties of well brewed beers. There is a time and a place for stubbies and cans.
