KNOW WHY BEER BOTTLES ARE GREEN OR BROWN IN COLOUR !!!

You might have imagined why beer is sold in brown or green bottle?Why not in transparent bottle?This article will give you the answer.

In earlier days beer was sold in clear bottles which was transparent. The manufacturers noticed that the liquid in the clear bottles was getting affected by the sunlight and smelled very bad. This is because the UV rays coming from sun reacts easily with the acid in beer when stored in clear bottles. So when light enters beer bottle it breaks down the acid in the hops and this reacts with the already present sulphur, making the beer taste horrible. In order to solve this problem brands started using brown colour for beer bottles as brown stops the UV rays to react with the liquid inside the bottles.

After World War II there was a shortage of brown bottles and hence European manufacturers of beer began to use green bottles. Eventually these green bottles became a symbol of sophistication because most of these Euro beers were of extremely high quality. And so we got to the brown and green variants of a typical beer bottle.
