Tap, it is how its meant to be, don't argue it just is.

Beer is best enjoyed from the tap. Second best,from the bottle,but poured into a glass. Pouring allows the carbon-dioxide used in the bottling process to be released. This is also why, when beer is poured from a tap a head should be allowed to develop,(most people pour beer into the side of the glass or mug to prevent excessive foaming when the container is chilled in a freezer this can be a problem. Most people take this too far and, (to get the most beer into the glass, allow no head), thus ruining the optimum flavor potential of the brew. Always request the Bartender allow a proper head-2 to 2 1/2 inches.

Tap is the best choice- You can allow a good head to form and release the carbon dioxide. And if it's a wheat beer with a lot of sediment, you don't have to worry about it all settling at the bottom and ruining the flavor. It's always chilled. In my personal opinion the keg and the bottle are equal. Kegs are great for pouring a decent beer with a good head (assuming you know how to do this) for lots of people in a remote area. However, you can typically do this with a bottled beer too, which is more of an "at home" kind of thing. Bottled beer also gets brownie points for staying cool and being able to be transported just about anywhere without a dolly (like a keg). A can is and always will be the last option. No matter what beer it is, it will taste like aluminum. The only beer that should be drunk from a can is one of a cheap and tasteless variety such as Pabst, Schmit, Miller High Life or Bud Light.

I'm stepping out right now for a beer. It's gotta be on tap because it's easier to chug that way. It's 9:45 and the pub next door closes at 10!

Tap into a frosted mug can't be beat. If not available ice cold longneck works for me.

Neither. Real ale comes from the cask
-
Well, I hate beer, but of the two bottled. I find that bottled drinks taste better than their canned counterparts *shrugs*
-
Cans, easier to dispose of and you don't know what sort of places those bottles have been sitting in.

When the beer comes from a keg, the second stage of the fermentation process can actually finish within the keg, which will give it a natural carbonation. Tap and keg are the same thing, the tap "taps" into the keg. Bottles are good, but may go "skunk" because of being exposed to to much light (uv) resulting in the breaking of the hops compounds causing a sulfur cmpd to be formed similar to a skunk, thus skunked beer.

the glassware one chooses makes a huge differences in taste, aroma, and appearance... source: http://www.beer-universe.com/beer-education-article/2009-06-11/Glassware-and-Beer-The-Little-Thing-That-Count/

Ice cold on tap tastes best, if not on tap, then out of a bottle.
-

-
Anything but can. I hate that metallic taste
-
bottle..cans taste tinny
-
A can man they easier to deal with at breakfast
-
From a keg, because it makes me feel like a badass! XD
-
You do realise that "glass (from tap)" and "keg" are both the same? And they are both my answer anyway!

Guiness, from a tap, at the Bag 'O Nails in London. Best beer I've ever had. Good vacation too :)
