It's the BPA in the can linings




(and before anyone goes nuts, that's a joke.  Well, sorta)

Given that this is an IPA, I actually was wondering about that (not the BPA specifically, though). Do hop oils adsorb to can liners, and would it happen to the extent where it would have a noticible impact on flavor? (I'm a canning noob, so I am asking this as much for my own insight as positing a possible mechanism for the OP's original question)

If that was the case, wouldn't we have heard about it?  Wouldn't breweries stop using cans for IPA?

Is Heady Topper still can only? That would at least point to anecdotal evidence.

Corn is a fine adjunct in beer.

Ya know, I'll remove that comment and any subsequent ones I made.  I don't want to get everyone stirred up over a joke.
You know what they say about people that can't take a joke.










They have no sense of humor. 😉
