It's a crisis! Beer bottle shortage brewing in Canada
VANCOUVER, June 12 (Reuters) - British Columbia's beer
makers see a bottle shortage brewing and are urging loyal
drinkers to check their garages for empties.
The Western Brewers Association said on Friday it planned
to buy newspaper ads this weekend warning that the region's
breweries are running "perilously" short of returnable glass
bottles as warm weather approaches.
"Clean out your garage, your closet, the corner of your
basement, and wherever else you store your empties and get them
back to your authorized brewers outlet for a full refund,"
executive director Greg D'Avignon exhorted in a statement to
the media.
The association said a warmer than expected spring has left
the breweries with about one million fewer refillable glass
bottles than they would like on hand at this time of year.
Up to 95 percent of glass bottles used by the beer makers
are recycled in Western Canada and some breweries clean and
reuse bottles up to 15 times, according to D'Avignon.
