I’ve got a ton of respect for John Kimmich and I’ve been drinking his beers since I first discovered his little brewpub in Waterbury, VT in 2006. But I do agree with you here. Unless I’m crazy thirsty from physical exertion, I have no interest in sucking down a beer straight from the can. But I don’t believe Kimmich’s suggestion is borne from pretension. I think he just cares way too much about every can of beer that leaves his brewery. From a recent Hop Culture piece on Kimmich:

“A beer gets forever and instantaneously altered the moment it gets poured into a glass of oxygen, you know,” he explains further. “When you’re responsible for making a beer and packaging a beer and absolutely at all costs minimizing oxygen uptake into that beer throughout the process, and then all of a sudden when the beer finally has its big moment in the sun you’re just going to throw it under the wheel of your car and run over it by pouring it into a glass of oxygen.”

He needs to let go of his babies once they leave the canning line. Some of us like to look at and smell our beer.
