Light Absorption by Various Beer Bottle Glass
- arohner 17y ago> Continue to use brown bottles for all homebrew! This is good advice if you're going to bottle your home brew. I much prefer kegging. Sanitizing + bottling 50-60 bottles is a huge pain. Now that I think of it, I don't think my local homebrew supply even sells non-brown bottles.
- jrockway 17y agoI hadn't realized this until just now, but most good beer comes in brown bottles. It is only beer that is sold by marketing rather than taste that comes in different-colored bottles. (I'm looking at you, Corona, Dos Equis, etc.) So I think that even before this paper, brewers realized that beer in brown bottles keeps better.
- wlievens 17y agoI actually like Corona, though I consider it more to be brand of lemonade than a brand of beer. But yeah, real beer goes in brown bottles. There's no questioning that. Disclosure: my national identity allows me to say anything I want about beer and be right on principle.
