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!

    Billy Beer was brewed for/promoted by then-President Jimmy Carter's brother Billy.

    I think its great for Buffalo to finally get some kind of recognition. Buffalo should be know for more than losing the Supper Bowls and getting snow. GO SABRES!!!!!!

    do we know how widespread these are distributed? Is it an only in Buffalo thing? Would be interested to know if they have similar labels but other cities as well.

    Only the Sabres and Minnesota Wild have their own Bud bottles in the NHL. The Sabre bottles are the only ones you can buy in local stores. The Wild bottles are available at their arena only.
