A beer-bottle temple. How appropriate! Imagine the spirit-lifting  
serenity of being within that much happiness symbolism.

I recently wrote to New Belgium Brewery suggesting square bottles. I  
sent them links to the Heineken square bottle sites and postulated  
what a marketing coup it would be for them. Alas, they said it would  
cost too much to convert.

I will wait a year and suggest it again, noting that the first company  
to do it will be world famous. And, since their beer is such high  
quality, the combo of product and packaging would be superb.

For those who don't know, New Belgium Brewery, of Fort Collins,  
Colorado, is employee-owned and wind-powered. Their site is also out- 
of-the-box fun:
