Don't mind a pint of Kilkenny draught on tap. Certainly better on tap than out of a can! Most pubs round my way just have VB or Draught on tap. Maybe someone will realise that Coopers is quality.
Primary: Coopers Bavarian Lager.
Secondary: Empty
Bottled and slammin' down: Coopers Lager, Coopers Draught and Coopers Bitter

I love ice cold beer out of a can, it gets no better on a hot day, a 12 pack sitting in ice so cold my head hurts when I drink it to fast.

If canning was a real option I would be all over it like white on rice

Maybe the beer you get out of a can over there is different to what we get here Snoop....tinnies here taste like crap IMHO...but still, the majority of beer sold in a can here is VB & Melbourne Bitter....YUCK! :D

Nothing fricking better at a Q on coals as ice cold cans and I don't care what the Bosun Mate says Captain. When I lived out west we used to put Cans of Kokanee in a net in the ocean and boil crabs on the beach over a fire.

Stuff was like nectar from the Gods, imagine if it were a really good beer, it would just about kill you as you could never get that close to heaven again

I have a hard time finding any decent beers on tap around here. I usually stick with Carlton because it's the only one that I don't openly dislike, however the last jug I bought was not pleasant. HBing has certainly raised the bar for me.

edit: Scrap that, Carltons the only beer on tap at my local that I don't refuse to drink. I've started to openly dislike it. Comments such as "Does this beer actually have any flavour other than "bad"?" and such were heard at a recent night at my local.

James Squires Amber Ale is definitely better on tap EXCEPT at the Greenwood Hotel in North Sydney where it tastes absolutely foul!!!

Also agree that if you can find Little Creatures on tap, all the better. Not many bars/pubs in Sydney with it on tap, the Australian and a couple of others come to mind.

However, I will drink both of those out of the bottle before most others.

Cheers!
