The reason green bottles suck is that they manage to filter out all the non-damaging light, leaving ONLY the skunking wavelengths to get through. Clear doesn’t filter anything, so is sort of worse. Brown filters the most (for glass) and is therefore the best. Other than cans. Which… I just don’t like as much as I like glass. Even my fave brewery (Avery, http://www.averybrewing.com) just got a canning line, and though I’m excited that they’re expanding, its just nowhere near as cool as a 20 oz bomber of fantastic beer.
One of the dangers of bars is, when they have something unusual and awesome on tap, there’s a good chance it’s not nearly as fresh as the Bud/Miller, since that’s what Joe the Plumber drinks. At a crappy bar my band used to play at (hell, they still do, I just moved away), they suddenly had Smithwick’s on tap, which I love. Turns out that they didn’t bother to clean the lines or anything, so it tasted freaking TERRIBLE. I went over to Miller after that. At least it was vaguely fresh…
