In Reply To #1 It's gimmicky. People think green bottle beer is luxurious. Isn't marketing fun? I just avoid them altogether. I can't think of anything in a green bottle that's worth my hard earned cash. Well, maybe Czechvar, but that comes in 16.9 oz brown bottles as well.

In Reply To #2 I can think of a lot of good beer that comes in green bottle. All of Alesmiths 750 ml bottle are green, so Speedway Stout, Grand Cru, etc. are in green bottles, I think New Glarus has green 750 ML bottle as well, so their Wisconson Belgian Red, Raspberry Tart, etc. are also in green bottles. If you look at a lot of belgian beers they also come in green 750 ml bottles. I think you have to look out for the lighter beers in green bottles more so than any beer in a green bottle.

In Reply To #3 All of which are not available in my area. I have had a couple of belgians in green bottles now that I think of it though. D'achouffe's beers are all in green. I usually buy domestic over imported though, so it's not a huge problem for me.

Well, I think if you buy a whole case of green bottles then you really don't have to worry since they've been covered since they came off the filling line.
