Keg can, I even heard they will discontinue it, man I hope thats not true. The tall cans don't taste the same. I hope someone comes to understand the consumer, I don't think I will be the only on complaining. "Thanks I hope my opinion matters.

While Heineken pretty much sucks as a beer, it is an amazing experience to drink it in Amsterdam. Also, the giveaways on the tour of the brewery are superb. Here's how it goes: 1) They serve it in a 10oz glass that is just a completely non-descript glass - no curves, no logo, nothing. 2) The tap they pour it out of has a little knob. Nothing like the big decorative tap-handles we have here. 3) It comes out of the tap at about 500 gallons per second. I'll let you guess what #4 is going be. 4) Massive amounts of foamy head. Luckily, every bartender carries around a plastic knife that they use to scrap the foam off the top of the beer. 5) They hand you a tiny little glass that is soaking-wet and dripping beer everywhere. Until you see it, you can't even believe that this is protocol for pouring beer. For every 10oz pour, 10oz is wasted and foam is intentionally added and then scraped off. Those Dutch are weird.
