I've heard this before as an argument for repackaging other products (milk: cardboard vs. plastic, shampoo: solid plastic vs. clear plastic) so I guess it makes sense, as the light breaks down the product faster.
Anyway, I haven't noticed a substantial difference in the way beer tastes from a can vs. a bottle, but if it's better for the environment then that's pretty cool.
