Light Absorption by Various Beer Bottle Glass

> Continue to use brown bottles for all homebrew!

This is good advice if you're going to bottle your home brew. I much prefer kegging. Sanitizing + bottling 50-60 bottles is a huge pain.

Now that I think of it, I don't think my local homebrew supply even sells non-brown bottles.

I hadn't realized this until just now, but most good beer comes in brown bottles. It is only beer that is sold by marketing rather than taste that comes in different-colored bottles. (I'm looking at you, Corona, Dos Equis, etc.)

So I think that even before this paper, brewers realized that beer in brown bottles keeps better.
