I have noticed that the chicken cooks more evenly. Not sure if it really makes it more moist, especially since I brine too. I think water or any liquid in the can would be fine but I do notice that the more spices and sauce in the beer can the more flavor and the onion in the neck helps keep it all in. I use what ever light beer is left around, I have never noticed a difference by putting different beers in the can so I don't waste the good stuff.
