According to a press release from Anheuser-Busch, demand for the company’s aluminum bottles has been so high that bars, restaurants, clubs and supermarkets are selling out, leading Anheuser-Busch to double its capacity for the package by fall 2005. In addition, America’s leading brewer will debut its newest beer — Budweiser Select — in the package next month.<br />

This will be the sixth A-B brand to roll out in the aluminum rocket-bottles, joining Bud Light, Budweiser, Michelob Light, Michelob and Anheuser World Lager.<br />

Personally, I think that if your beer is getting warm, you are drinking it too slow. But I do appreciate the fact that the aluminum bottles "disappear just like cans" when hurled into our outdoor fire pit by my brother, whereas glass bottles have to be shoveled out occasionally.
