How come the color of beer bottles are only in green or brown?!
Answers: I knew it helps filter light to keep the quality in good condition, but Why not black colored bottle or some others dark color?
Brown bottles are best at blocking UV light, even better than green. I suppose different colored bottles (green, clear) are used more as a marketing tool than for functionality, as these bottles can allow UV rays to pass through that will damage the beer and can change the flavor. Often, storing beer under bright florescent lights (like many stores do) can be responsible for a beer tasting "skunky".
good question
because of the uv rays in the sun light. different color bottles allow a certian amount of uv rays so the beer dont go bad on you
idk but corona's are clear :)
The darker colors block the light which can damage the product.
or clear. millers, corona. green and brown are still translucent..i guess people like to see what's inside
i doubt it's about uv rays. how would it get into the case? and warehouses
if you drink it fast enough who cares what color the bottle the is
There are indeed more colors than green and brown. Corona, MGD, and Blue Moon are clear. (that's only to name a few)
UV rays are proven to get blocked out the most with those colors, keeping the "fresh" taste in beer for longer while refrigerated or moved.
There are clear bottles, but due to the amount of light they let through, they require high levels of preservative to keep the beer from going off. It is more cost effective and healthier to use dark glass.
I've not seen black or blue bottles used for beer. I think they have to melt extra things in when they make the glass to change the colour. I guess dyes would change the composition of the glass or something. I'm pretty sure they used black glass a really long time ago. I saw some black alcohol bottles in a museum once.
Because black bottles are not very appeal-ling....
i think mainly just tradition, there are some brand that are black. im thinking belgian beers like chimay often come in black or really dark brown bottles. everything used to come in brown bottles; the green bottles started during ww2, one of the dyes or something was needed for war so european brewers started bottling in green, and green bottles got associated with good beer so they sold better in green bottles and thus most imports are still in green bottles today
Plain and simple it is cost. Brown is less expessive than black, green is less than brown and clear is less than green.
