New bottle, same taste for Banks beer

BANKS BEER LOVERS can now have a drink when they are at Kensington Oval, around swimming pools, on cruise boats and other glass-restricted areas. That's because the beer comes in plastic, after five years of consideration. The first PET beer bottle was done at the Barbados Bottling Company last October 31, and was bottled for distribution from February 27. During a Press launch for the Banks beer in PET on Friday at Banks Breweries Limited, officials said it was safer at street parties and was half the weight of glass. Last year, general manager of Banks (Barbados) Breweries Chris St John, made it clear there was no difference between the beer in the PET bottle and that in the glass bottle. Source: Nation News

Beer in a PET bottle? ewwwwww!! That's like sucking up creamed rice through a straw. Disgusting. Men say it gine taste the same, but you know there gine be some beeraholics that play dem noticing a subtle difference.. how dem cuh taste the plastic. But a plastic bottle just takes away from the concept of a beer... you open it, you are supposed to drink all.. not cover it back down and put it in the fridge. That's like having a re-usuable condom... lash, rinse it out, and go again. Next thing they will be marketing Heineken in a convenient Tetra Pack, like box juices, then wonder why parents are packing them in with their kids school lunches. Well, it's great to know I can finally get drunk in a pool, makes drowning that much more exciting.
