Stubbies

should the "darwin stubby" be s sub-group of the stubby? i am not completely sure ~5349U11~ 12:23, 3 May 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 5349U11 (talk • contribs)

As the contributor who inserted the "DS" material, maybe I should say, I did so because of the *ironic* but nonetheless actual name of the DS. That irony may go over some heads ..! Feroshki (talk) 01:42, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

When I was growing up (Pacific NW USA) in the 1950s & early 1960s, the "word on the street" was that the brewers had gone to the "stubby" bottle as a way of cutting down on the physical injuries caused by the use of the longneck bottle as a weapon in bar fights. Is this just an "urban legend" or does someone have some verification? User:Farnsworth1968 —Preceding undated comment added 01:04, 29 January 2011 (UTC).

Growler

In Australia? I'm in my fifties and have lived in Australia most of my life and I came to this page to find out what a growler was! Have any other Aussies heard of this usage? JustJimWillDo (talk) 21:11, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Labels

Needs something on labels. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:14, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Ruby glass?

How about something on red (ruby) glass? This is an expensive glass to produce, so rarely seen, but it is distinctive and at one time was claimed to improve beer keeping and avoid it becoming lightstruck. Certainly they're sought after by the bottle collectors. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:17, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

non-compulsory deposit?

"Their initial purchase can carry a significant (sometimes non-compulsory) deposit."

What does this mean? Who would pay a non-compulsory "deposit"?

Needs a History section

This article lacks any information about the history of the beer bottle: when and where it was first used, how its use spread, etc. There's apparently infinite detail about every obscure type of bottle used everywhere on earth in the 20th century, but the past is a total blank. Did the beer bottle not exist until the 20th century? This article gives no clue.

The reams of minute detail about regional variations, collectability, etc, make this read much more like a site for aficionados only than like an encyclopedia article. When a Wikipedia article is as large as this one is but a reader looking for basic information about the subject is forced to look for it elsewhere, the article is a failure.—104.244.192.86 (talk) 01:14, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Agree strongly. Seriously lacking. -- Infrogmation (talk) 21:55, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Pressures

I'd like to see a section on pressures in a beer (or soda) bottle, both at canning time and at typical storage conditions (i.e., room temperature).
