| why is Pacifico so much better in a can than the bottle? 
 
 and why the heck can't we get Pacifico in a can here in the US?
 Each time I go to baja I swear Im going to bring back cases of Pacifico in a can but always forget. I always regret not bringing it back.

 it isn't. cold glass is a much better insulator than aluminum.

 aluminum is a superior package for blocking sunlight, the scourge of beer. even microbrews are opting for aluminum to preserve their flavor.  you're
not the only one asking this, take a look!

 Actually they are opting for Aluminum with a lining.  I am not sure what the lining is made from but I would assume some type of plastic.  I think
Ball has developed this technology and is pushing it big time.  However, I prefer Pacifico in a bottle

 relative is correct. I prefer the bottle as well.  cans are convenient when I am camping, riding  or at the races.

 I'm visual.      Large part of the Pacifico experience is looking at the beer in the bottle, tripping on the color.       Cans can't do that but are
good for different reasons.

 F*ck it.

 If that is the case, try a Pezón
 
 Take a bottle of beer, spill out a little beer so the neck is empty, squeeze about 1/2 or 1/4 of a key lime in the bottle.  Top off the neck with your
favorite tequila and enjoy a Pezón, I'm sure you've had a similar experience in your younger days

 Cans of Pacifico are fine, and great for off roading... but pour it into a glass for drinking... or in Baja, a beer cup!
