Good beer in GREEN bottles does not exist
 

A recent discussion with a friend left us stumped. Are there any good beers that come in green bottles?

For reference purposes, the following is a good beer:
Pilsner Urquell

and the following are not good beers:
Heineken
Rolling Rock
Bavaria

Stella Artois comes to mind, that's all I can think of offhand though

I had a good beer in a green bottle once. It was imported or something.

I'm confused.

Re: Good beer in GREEN bottles does not exist
 

Yuengling is one, and another regional beer is Straub. The green bottle Straub's have no preservatives, so as long as it's somewhat fresh, it's good.

all depends on your preference i guess

Since recently, one of the best Dutch beers comes in green bottles: Grolsch. It is great.

Good one. Stella is also a good one.

I've never tried Yuengling and don't remember what Grolsch tastes like or whether I've had it.

If you like pilsners, Pilsner Urquell is one of the best, but if you know of a better or equally good pilsner, fire away.

I like sierra nevada pretty well.

Re: Good beer in GREEN bottles does not exist
 

I didn't even know Yuengling came in green bottles. That seems wrong. No dark beer should ever come in a green bottle.

I don't really care for Dos Equis much, either. And someone, probably MrWookie because he's the noted beer connoisseur, called Stella the Grey Goose of beers. Soooo... I'm not really sold on anything besides PU.

The label is green, but the bottle is not.

Re: Good beer in GREEN bottles does not exist
 

Anyone who likes Pilsner Urquell must try Staropramen.

Good try, but that green-labelled beer comes in a brown bottle.

Re: Good beer in GREEN bottles does not exist
 

Hmm, Staropramen?

That is now on my to-buy list.

Sweet a beer snob thread.

Yuengling comes in several varieties, it is a brand name, not a type of beer, as you can see by looking at the picture in this thread the green bottle is labeled lager, which is typically not a dark beer

yuengling's black & tan and porter varieties do in fact come in brown bottles

I was aware of all of this except that the lagers specifically came in green bottles. I also seem to remember them being dark enough to come in a brown bottle, but then, I consider "not yellow" dark enough.

Stella Artois

Peroni

Those are my favorites

Re: Good beer in GREEN bottles does not exist
 

You can find Staropramen in any decent beer store in the US and it is [censored] tasty.

Re: Good beer in GREEN bottles does not exist
 

FWIW, I work at The Beer Store up here in canuckland. Stella is just a regular overpriced lager. I am also confused about the PU being in a green bottle...OP is not making sense.

I don't mind Beck or DAB, both in green bottles.

Re: Good beer in GREEN bottles does not exist
 

Stella is the Belgian Budweiser

Staropramen is very good and tasty. A friend introduced me to it after traveling through Europe for the summer. In Atlanta it's in all the major grocery stores' beer aisles.

Hilarious post. Green bottles used to be the sign of good beer.

These are two of the worst beers. It'd like you're from Europe and say you love love love Coors Light and Miller Lite.

I can't believe no one likes Amstel.

Re: Good beer in GREEN bottles does not exist
 

I think this beer is great:
