Before the War of 164, Asgarnian ale was popular in bottles.

The drink began to pop up in bottles throughout other general stores and bars all across Gielinor. With the option of available refills at a much lesser cost, ale enthusiasts no longer saw cause to travel to Falador for the drink.

After 164, bottling of the beverage was put to a halt do the lack of glass material from the war effort. As a result, the rest of Gielinor saw a heavy decrease in the distribution of bottled Asgarnian ale, causing them to once again travel to Falador to seek out the prized ale.

Bottles of Asgarnian ale are prized amongst collectors, as very few are known to be left in existence.
