Different brands of beer in the market
Whether you drink beer or not, you must have seen a beer bottle sometime or the other. There are different brands of beer available in the market. If you have noticed, beer bottles are either green or brown in colour.

Whether the colour of the bottle is black or yellow or red, you must be concerned with drinking beer. But, there is a big reason behind the colour of these beer bottles.

The first beer company in ancient Egypt
It is believed that the first beer company was opened in ancient Egypt thousands of years ago. Because at that time beer was packed in transparent bottles, then it was found that due to beer being kept in white bottles, the ultraviolet rays (UV rays) coming from the sun’s rays were spoiling the acid present in the beer, due to which the beer started smelling bad and people were not able to drink it.
Sun rays do not affect brown color
After this, the beer makers found a solution to this problem and chose the bottles with a brown coating on them. The beer did not spoil in these coloured bottles and people started drinking beer with great enthusiasm. This was because the sun rays did not affect the brown coloured bottles. After this, during the Second World War, beer bottles started being painted green."text-align: justify;">Brown bottle is also used in chloroform
