Is it true that most beers are bottled with twist caps in Canada and US?

Nope. Think a fair number of macros are, but craft beer is almost invariably your standard need-an-opener top.

So depending on how one defines "most" the answer may be either "yes" or "no." If all you drink is macrobrew/NAIL, cans and twist-off tops are what you'll find. If you only drink *good* beer, most of them are not twist-off (or are keg-only).

Erm, coupla things-- If he means "most bottles of beer", surely he's right, with macro so far outselling craft brew.

If he means "the bottles of most breweries", you're probably right, but I'm not even 100% sure. I open almost all my bottles on a wall-mounted opener, but I notice that a lot of your bigger craft brewers--Sierra Nevada, Summit, Goose Island, to name a few--have taken to using twisties.

Doesn't affect the beer either way. ;-)

Hmmm, forgot about Sierra Nevada. Out here in my East Coast 'hood, we all about the non-twisties. Dominion's New River Pale Ale is twist-off, but that's the only East Coaster that I know of that's like that.

EAST COAST?!! Hell, I thought you were more or less across town from me in the Midwestern morass known as Cincinnati, Ohio!

Well, just a really long way across town to the DC 'burbs. Eventually it'll all be one big city anyways, right?

Hey Dan, whatever became of that possible move to Minnesota?

“Possible” does not equate to “soon”. It’ll be a few years from the look of things.
