Bud Light in a fancy aluminum bottle
The aluminium bottle or bottle can is starting to make big inroads into the US market with brewing giant Anheuser Busch really starting to push the product. Not only can they print fancy graphics on the full bottle the bottle is 100% recyclable, strong, safer than glass and most importantly keep the beer at a perfect temperature. Being aluminum too they cool much faster than the traditional glass bottles and with their high tech shape keep cooler than cans and many glass bottles when taken out of the fridge. A few other brewers have also given the bottle can a go including Japan’s Kirin and Sapporo and Heineken but Pittsburgh Brewing Company were the first who shipped 20,000 cases of City Premium Lager back in 2004. Soft drink manufacturers and even wine makes are jumping on board this great new product. The bottle uses about 3 times as much metal an usual can giving it a very strong and durable feel and also helping with insulation.
