Are there any good beers out of a can?

The problem with canned beer is that it's had a reputation over the years of being a container for inferior beer. Some of the worst beers from the breweries have actually gone into cans as opposed to being served draft and fresh in a pub. The other problem with cans is that some people think that they actually taint the flavor of the beer because they're metallic and they bring a metallic note to the beer. And also, any beer in a can is, by definition, pasteurized and filtered, and isn't as fresh as draft beer in a pub. But that doesn't mean to say cans can't sometimes work. In America, for example, now some of the microbreweries are experimenting with putting beer back into can again, so they're worth looking out for.
