CAN it be!?

Yes it can, Still Nacht in a can! I happened to stop in to an excellent beer store/bar/homebrew shop yesterday where I do a lot of my beer buying, and there they were, Still Nacht in cans. Needless to say I was excited for two reasons.

One: They had Still Nacht, a beer I love but haven't had in a long time.

Two: It was in ... Cans!

Well, of course I purchased a can to try it out, and am drinking it now. Wow, after wondering if it was going to be as good as before, it's even better than I remember.

Looking at the label on the back you'll note that the abv is 10.8% instead of the usual 12%. Believe me, this beer still packs a bit of a punch but it's even more drinkable than I remember.

Smooth as silk, and not as sweet as before, at least to my tastebuds. I'm really liking this one folks.

When talking to the proprietor who sold it to me he mentioned how much he likes this beer too, but hadn't opened up a can yet. He said that the importer here, B. United International, gets it shipped across the pond to Connecticut in "containers" (not sure if that means kegs) and then it's actually canned there. I haven't checked into that yet, but he seems like a knowledgeable guy.

Anyway, I'm going to finish up this pour now, and head back over to that store/bar/homebrew shop to pick up some more.  :beer:

Cheers! - John

P.S. Just wondering what photo hosting site you fellows are using. I've been using Postimages for a couple of years and up until recently and it's done a great job, however lately they have made some changes on their website and I've noticed that my photos are not coming out clear any more. Believe me, the photos I took above are as clear as a bell, but looking at them here (and elsewhere when I do post elsewhere on rare occasions) they have become fuzzy.

That's irritating, as you can barely even read the back label in the second photo above, and parts of it you can't read at all. Any tips you can give me on a better photo hosting site, or do I have to pay through the nose now to have my photos come out clear?

Thanks - John

Hi John,
indeed, the pictures aren't that sharp and small too.
I always use FlickR, but it's not a free service.
I see that Jay is using the free https://imgbb.com/ and the pix are pin sharp !

BTW, nice to see the SN in your country. From can, yes, but I wonder if it's also can conditioned, which I doubt.
But that's not a problem at all. This beer is already a masterpiece without the bottle refermentation.
Cheers,
Filip
