Anheuser-Busch has just released Bud Light bottles featuring the Buffalo Sabres. The limited edition bottle features a blue, gold and white label which wraps around the entire bottle, displaying the team logo as well as a hockey puck.
They are currently available at stores in the area, and will run fans about $1 each. Believe it or not, a few of them have already found their way to eBay.
I think that a Labatt’s product may better represent the Buffalo area- or better yet a handcrafted brew from Flying Bison. But Budweiser, to the best of my understanding, is a perfect example of the classic American pilsner, so perhaps that is quite appropriate as well.
Anyway, a thousand years from now, archaeologists will likely unearth thousands of these bottles, bottle cap still intact, from the former rec rooms and basements of WNY.
Remember Billy Beer?
Go Sabres!
