IF we could eliminate that "plastic taste..."

IF we could make them strong enough to survive a drop...

IF we could make them so the beer has a long shelf-life...

Would you buy beer in a plastic bottle?

And while we're at it, no more Coke in plastic bottles either! I thought it was just my imagination that Coca-Cola tasted better from a glass bottle than from a can - until I tasted it from a plastic bottle.

I can't quite believe you're suggesting this... [Wink]

I had some plastic bottled beer a few weeks ago at a concert; it was not good compered to glass bottles or cans. It also cost �3.50 a bottle which was a bloody rip off, but there you go...

�3.50/bottle of beer? That's like $7... That's a huge rip-off!

I don't drink anyway, so I guess I'd prefer plastic so I don't have to really worry about getting hit by one or stepping in glass or other nasty stuff like that.

I would not mind milkshakes in plastic bottles.

But then, I would not mind milkshakes in a shoe.

I love milkshakes, I will tell you that right now.

Local east coast beer concern thinks this will be the Next Big Thing and is investing in the technology.

Frankly, I can't taste a difference, then again I'm getting paid to not notice. [Big Grin] (kidding!)

Only real problem I can see is recycling. Each bottle consists of 3 layers of 3 kinds of resin.

Other than that, the big problem is convincing the public that this is Better.

Not my problem, that's the brewery's issue. I was just intrested in a snapshot of opinion.

Thanks!
