LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Ale-8-One is ending its returnable bottle program.
The Kentucky-based drink company opted to end its tradition of offering refillable longneck bottles.
"As one of the last refillable bottlers left in the USA, we have taken great effort to maintain these beloved bottles steeped in nostalgia, in the face of relentless industry pressure to discontinue their production," Ale-8 posted on its website. "With great care, effort, innovation, and resourcefulness, we have brought our longnecks into the modern era, extending their production for 30 or more years beyond what the rest of the industry offered."
People can still purchase longneck bottles for a limited time through participating retailers. The program will end on Dec. 31, 2023.
