I'm coming to my wits end here. My LHBS doesn't sell beer bottle and to buy them online would cost too much just to ship. So I went around to 5 bars and collected their bottles through the weekend. Like 90% were twist caps (damn Bud Lite). So I got 12 good bottles from that method and recycled the rest. I thought since Delaware stopped the buying bottle program I could get some from locals. I posted on craig's list but the best offers I found there were for $20/case. I'm almost that desperate. I've written to the local micros in my area; Dogfish Head Brewery, 16 Mile Brewery, and Evolution Brewing Company hoping one of them gives me a reply back with a good offer. I've been drinking my liver full of beer trying to collect bottles but I'm quickly getting fat and tired of that process. My first 2 batches I filled into easy to get twist cap bottles and some self cappers I bought for $1/bottle. I'm trying to get out of the twist caps and get a good stock of pop caps. Any suggestion I'm missing here? I'd like to get a good pipeline going and not having to pop green beer just to get my bottles back.
