Innis & gunn?

[Pugnax88]

I've got a couple friends that keep telling mere to try these beers, but the clear bottle worries me. To those of you that have had it, am I just paranoid?

Probably paranoid. I like the rum cask conditioned Innis & Gunn. Newcastle is another British beer sold in clear bottles.

Yup, you're just paranoid.

The bottles do come in "tall" 4-packs, so there is (theoretically) enough "protection" from sunlight. And the beer isn't bad at all. My SWMBO loves their Irish whiskey cask...

They have also just announced that they will be bottling their original in actual oak bottles. Cool stuff: http://www.innisandgunn.com/keep-discovering/blog/were-launching-original-in-wooden-bottles

Announced on April 1, talks about reducing shipping costs by floating bottles across the Atlantic...I'm thinking that's not real
