I bet if someone spoke to Sam Adams now, they may jump on the band wagon
to oppose plastic bottles, amber or otherwise. I bet a number of the
designer beer breweries would as well. We could instigate a pitting of
beer mfg. against beer mfg.

Did you hear how they are shirnk wrapping bales of garbage in NYC to
create a better market!!!! Purchasing film plastic just to package
grabage is ridiculous. I thikn we have all gone in sane!
