Title: Marlboro Beer Bottles
Post by: birdman9989 on April 14, 2013, 11:48:17 AM
I was wondering if anyone has information/value on Marlboro Beer Bottles. I have a couple of them, which still have not been opened. I understand they were not made for a long period of time but I have been finding it difficult to find much information on them. I have attached a picture of them. Thank you!

Those are very cool,two of my favourite things in one! I have never seen cigarette ads on anything to do with beer,and I know my beer,I'm Canadian! Could be quite rare,don't drink them. Is there any other info on the label ? The brewer?

The Millar Brewing Company was bought by Philip Morris Inc in 1970..A patent was applied for in 1970 by PM.
