Re: Good beer in GREEN bottles does not exist
Yuengling gets way too much love in threads like these. Put it next to any of the good lagers mentioned here - generally the Czech Pilsners, but traditional German lagers are good, too - and it just can't stand up.
The best domestic lager I've had is Great Lakes' Dortmunder Gold, but its brown bottle.

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

Re: Good beer in GREEN bottles does not exist
[ QUOTE ]
Whats the hate about Heinekken? I like it too. [/ QUOTE ] Heineken : Beer Snobs :: Bose : Audiophiles Beer snobs hate on it, because it's an over-rated beer. Having a palette that can objectively rate beer is a very uncommon thing. It's something I've been working on, but don't think I'll be able to master anytime soon. You'd be surprised how strongly influenced most people's taste for beer is decided by things other than the taste of the beer (marketing/environment/presentation etc).

Except bud light, I think my 3 favorite beers come in green bottles. Heineken light, rolling rock & stella.
