What Color Is The Glass Bottle Of Your Favorite Alcoholic Beverage?

[arwalden]

It's a wide-open topic... it could be wine, beer, liquor, liqueurs, or whatever.

(What a weird poll question, eh?)

P.S. Does anybody know if the dark colored bottles are dark FOR A REASON? Does it improve taste? Freshness? Inhibit spoiling? --- Or is it just an aesthetic-thing?

1. dark bottles keep out sunlight

which degrades the taste.

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Crap - meant to post blue, posted clear

sorry about that.

Frustrating.

3. Guinness is Good for You!

4. Green

but of course.

Rolling Rock. It's union-made, it's old school, and it comes in a low-carb version for us Zone/Sugar Busters/Atkins/whatever types.

14. brown

My favorite beer depends on the season (yes I'm a beer yuppie), but they nearly all come in brown bottles.

Holyoke Dam Ale
Sierra Nevada Porter
Sam Adams Boston Lager
etc.

On the topic of beers friendly to our cause:

I hear that, of the major US brands, Miller contributes a far greater share of its profits to the DNC than Anheuser-Busch or Coors do. So Miller Lite is what I drink when my options are few.

Mason jars come in colors? :shrug:

6. Heinikken and Rolling Rock

both in those wonderful green bottles!

7. I'm from Latrobe, PA.

We toured the Rolling Rock plant in high school biology. :-)

Yuengling is a far superior PA beer, though, IMHO.

12. Biology??

This sounds scary. :)

Do tell!

8. Green wine bottles

9. Clear...Maker's Mark bourbon.

And it doesn't necessarily improve the taste of this fine brand of bourbon.

10. How many O's do you use in the word "Smooth"...

when you're describing Maker's Mark?

11. Blue. No... Gree-E-E-E-eeee-n-arg-hhhhhh!!!

[sasquatch]

15. Other Green, Brown and Aluminum

About any German beer(mainly Spaten) and Guiness draught in those cans they come in. The bottle sucks when it comes to Guiness.

18. don't drink beers that ride on boats

it is very bad for them. drink local. can you get goose island in ohio? are there microbrews there?

17. Cobalt Blue

Blue Bayou wine from the Old South Winery in Natchez, Mississippi.
