However, it is important to know the colour of your beer bottle.

Primarily, beer was stored only in clear glass bottles. But left in the sun, brewer observed the penetration of UV rays in the drink. It reacted to the sulphur content in the beverage and formed a chemical that made it to smell like a skunk.

Sunlight also altered the flavour and soaked up the freshness without which the alcoholic drink lost its drive.

To safeguard this possible damage at all stages of distribution until the beer is opened by the final consumer, the brewers opted dark brown and green coloured long necked bottles. They ensured an uncompromised beer with the perfect taste and crispy freshness.

These coloured bottles not only preserve your beer in good condition–fresh and crispy, but also made it more attractive to the buyers. These colours add more value to the packaging and guarantee meeting all the quality standards.

The choice is yours, but which is better?

No matter which brand you vouch for, whether you choose to have your beer strong or light, choosing the best of taste will give you optimum pleasure in drinking bear.

Although slightly better than clear bottles, green offer less protection from sunlight than the dark brown bottles.

Prefer to buy dark brown beer bottles to minimise the risk of altered flavour.

Keep your beer fresher for long by storing it in a cool dark, place.

Now that you know which bottle of beer to hit the next time you go to buy beer, enjoy the perfect taste of beer.
