It has to do with the fact that darker bottles block out more light than the lighter color bottles. The light causes changes in the beer's chemical composition causing it to break down faster in the green bottles. Yes I just made that up, I really have no idea.

Beer in plastic bottles? Sounds right up there with wine in plastic bags. Beer in cans is bad enough. Should be against the law.

Here we have Jupiler in plastic bottles and i was quite suspicious about it too until i tried it. It actually tastes better than a can! no more metallic taste and the surface you are putting your mouth on was covered by a cap until you opened it. you never know where your can has been before you drink it...  Undecided

I follow you when you say beer in a can sucks, but I still think the jupiler in plastic bottles aren't good enough to drink too, just straith from the draft is still the best, or a bottle is acceptable too Cheesy

I have to agree, mostly because "my" Beer comes in a brown bottle,...but it has a green label.

The local news is starting to talk about the fact that the price of hops is rising from $5/pound to $20/pound and the estimate is that a pint will increase in price $0.75 on average. This has been talked about now for a while. Looks like it will cheaper to drink diesel instead of my Sierra Nevada ale. The larger brewers will not be hit as hard.

I'd like to add Steinlager to the list of green bottled beer that doesn't suck.
