Bud Light in Aluminum Bottles
 
Publics at Colony has Bud light in 16 OZ aluminum bottles. If you like bud light and have not tasted it in the 16 OZ long neck aluminum bottle, do yourself a favor and try it. I like it on draft and the 16 OZ long neck aluminum bottle seems to taste the same to me. I know this is a small thing to get excited about, but at my age a cold tasty beer in the afternoon has became very special to me. Also, the bottle is at least 4 times thicker than the 12 OZ can so the beer stays cold longer. It is perfect for around the pool also. :MOJE_whot: I am so happy now.:beer3:

In 2004 Pittsburgh Brewing Company partnered with Alcoa to produce Iron City Beer in aluminum bottles. They were supposed to stay cold as much as 50 minutes longer than the cans, as they had three times the amount of aluminum. They charged $1 extra per case. Before that, Heinekin had a limited edition run.

I still have an aluminum bottle of Iron City in the glass-door cookbook shelves in my condo kitchen in MI. It says Save Our City on it, which was how they began marketing them on billboards for some reason.

You can also thank PBC for the pull-top opening beer can (1962--also developed with Alcoa) and the twist-off bottle top. Who knew? And I thought we were only good for ketchup and pickles... and the Steelers, of course.

Enjoy your beer, golfingnut.:coolsmiley:

The aluminum bottles are coated inside. Don't chew on the outsides.

I had an old boss we affectionately called Six Pack because he would down 6 Buds every evening.
He suggested I try it on tap on one of our travels together.
One sip and NO MORE.
I like beer but Buds not for me or Strohs or Coors...
