Lighter, cheaper, more compact. Surely a better bet for imported beers, especially regarding shipping costs.

Don't get me wrong, if I saw a lambic or similar in a can I'd run for the hills. But I've had many great beers from a can.

Also meant to keep the beer better.

It's like corks vs. screw-tops in wine. Screw tops are better but people are horrified by them because they think it automatically means cheap wine.

Indeed, but only if you're a heathen who keeps their beer somewhere where sunlight can get at it.

Isn't cork beneficial to wines as it lets some oxygen in (which is helps the ageing process)?

You can take tins into US National Parks, beaches and other nice places where glass is banned.
