I'm not sure I understand the "KEEP THIS BOTTLE ALWAYS STANDING" embossed on the back. Did people normally store beer bottles on their sides? If so, what was different about this bottle that made it necessary to not store it on it's side? - Chosi | ||

He suggested that it might have been due to the beer having some unpleasant tasting sediment, and that the sediment was more likely to stay on the bottom of the bottle if it was stored standing up. - Chosi | ||
