Well, I think that is a bit too strong a comment, but saying that I'm really surprised that this posting has attracted so much interest. Most Germans would not buy this, brewing is much more local than it is in the UK and most Germans would only buy beer from their regional brewery (beer really doesn't travel well, whatever us Brits believe to the contrary). Tinned beer like this, sold cheaply by Lidl would only be for the poor people.

I suppose this beer is quite cheap though - which is probably its most endearing attraction to the British palate. On reflection I decided to vote cold: I don't think it makes sense to ship cheap beer from Germany when it can be brewed much more efficiently in the UK (and there are hundreds of good British beers).

Cans don't impart any flavour to beer and generally beer in cans is less likely to spoil as there's no risk of sunlight damaging the contents. There are loads of very expensive craft ales sold in cans these days. The idea of preferring the taste from bottles is entirely psychological. Though it's still a very common preference.

One of the reasons you're more likely to get wheat beers in bottles I imagine is if there's sediment it's easier to leave it in the bottle.
