Sam Adams brewing may well say that about brown bottles, but Grolsch has green bottles too, and Beck’s, maybe they just have a long tradition of making beer back in the old world.
Still, Molson in a brown bottle is their cheaper beer, green bottles have their premium beer.

I remember the Molson, I once had to cart home a case on a bike after the box broke, that was not exactly easy.
“Sam Adams brewing may well say that about brown bottles”
I’ve never heard Sam Adams Brewing say that. It is a scientific fact that most home brewers know. Light ruins beer and beer in green bottles spoils more quickly than beer in brown bottles because of specific light wave lengths. I think the first time I read it was in Michael Jackson’s (no, not that Michael Jackson) books.
The solution is to put the beer into enclosed cases. Then, the color of the bottle doesn’t matter. BTW - Clear bottles are the worst.
Sam Adams bottles are brewed in Pittsburgh. They only make kegs in Jamaica Plain. I’m not sure who makes their bottled beers.
