Re: Good beer in GREEN bottles does not exist
Interesting snippet I pulled from probrewer.com
[ QUOTE ]
Back when I was in brew school, my professor addressed this exact point. He said that Heineken had considered changing bottle color to help prevent lightstruck aroma, but decided against it because they felt it provided a marketing advantage. They felt that Americans associated imported beer with green bottles, and that helped them stand out next to domestic rivals.

FYI- lightstruck = skunky
This guy was speculating why Grolsch is in green bottles in the US, but brown bottles domestically.
