Poll question: What Color Is The Glass Bottle Of Your Favorite Alcoholic Beverage? |
|
It's a wide-open topic... it could be wine, beer, liquor, liqueurs, or whatever.
(What a weird poll question, eh?)
-- Allen
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?

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.

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.

We toured the Rolling Rock plant in high school biology. :-)
Yuengling is a far superior PA beer, though, IMHO.

9. Clear...Maker's Mark bourbon. |
|
And it doesn't necessarily improve the taste of this fine brand of bourbon.

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