MillerCoors Reintroduces Glass Bottles for Their Iconic 40s
In a significant shift back to tradition, MillerCoors has announced that it will once again be bottling its popular 40-ounce beverages in glass rather than plastic. This decision, verified through direct communication with the company and shared by community members of the Facebook group Support Malt Liquor, marks a notable change in the company’s approach to packaging.
For those who may not be familiar, the transition to plastic bottles a few years ago was met with widespread disapproval from fans of these beloved malt liquor drinks. At the time, the company marketed the plastic bottles as “shatterproof,” which was, to some extent, beneficial for consumers seeking durability. However, it seems that for many enthusiasts, the switch detracted from the overall experience of enjoying a classic 40.
As a recent college graduate, I’ve observed firsthand how the shift affected drinking culture among peers. Many turned to alternatives like Colt 45 or even opted to abandon 40s altogether due to the plastic packaging. The nostalgia of enjoying a cold, classic malt liquor from a glass bottle is hard to replace.
With this change, MillerCoors is bringing back familiar favorites such as Olde English 800 and Mickey’s in their traditional glass format. This revival is generating excitement among fans who remember the distinctive feel and experience of drinking from a glass bottle.
The return to glass represents not just a shift in packaging but a symbolic comeback for a culture that cherishes tradition. Cheers to that!
