BUSINESS MEMO: PLASTIC BOTTLES

Miller Time is coming your way in a plastic bottle.

Miller Brewing Co. is going to sell three of its best-selling beers -- Miller Lite, Miller Genuine Draft and Icehouse -- nationally in 16-ounce and 20-ounce plastic bottles as well as in the traditional glass bottles and aluminum cans.

The nation's second biggest brewer has been testing reaction to beer in plastic bottles over the past 18 months in more than a dozen markets.

While plastic is widely used for beverages like milk and soft drinks, Miller would be the first U.S. brewer to use plastic bottles on such a large scale.
