I'm fascinated. I have a bottle of Heineken sitting in the sun for three days now to try a skunking test. An aluminium bottle would be a great control! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Yep, seems that way to me. It seems the biggest shocker is this apparent -5C serving. They might be stored at -5, but I'm sure they'd heat up to 0 soon enough <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->

Actually, surely ice would be easily formed in a beer like that at -5? Where did this -5 come from?

hairymac that's what I was thinking. I drove past the billboard and thought "aluminium bottles, that must be cheaper than glass, how come no one has done that already?" and then I thought, they have. we call them cans.

it might mean they can use the same bottling line as glass bottles, rather than cans?
I got a heineken one about 4 or 5 years ago in france, on a ski trip. don't remember it being -5oC though
