Do you mean the green bottles? If you do, be sure to keep them out of the light unles you want skunky beer.
I haven't seen any in quite a while, but they also put out an alt style beer in brown swing top bottles.

do you mean green bottles dont filter out the light as well as brown ones? I hadnt heard that before

Yes that's exactly what I mean. The clear ones are the worst.
Imports to the U S in green or clear bottles are almost all skunked. Light effects something in the hops.
