canned beer and BPA

I've been gone a while, but I learned something the other day and feel I need to share it. Beer reacts with aluminum, so can manufacturers have to line the can with plastic to prevent this reaction. The plastic they use is BPA plastic. Ball makes almost all beverage cans, they admit they use BPA plastic. They say their customers have never complained. Google BPA lined cans. Cans suck, as I have always known, buy your beer in bottles.

Thanks for the info larry, unlike some folks I prefer not to have rigid plastics up the can.

This is why I don't give my kid canned beer.

You can't win for trying. I love the variety of canned beer out there now, but I am also a hater of BPA. I wouldn't be surprised if enough people complain that they soon change that.

Sorry about that, I was breaking the brewers code and was being a dick :) Eagles loss and missing playoffs, plus large amount of beer :oops:
