Found these cool stubby bottles!

I should say that my brew partner's father-in-law found them. He picked up 10 cases of old Rainier and Olympia Beer 11 oz. stubbies at a garage sale for $1.00 a case.

As soon as I saw them, I knew I needed to use them for my Berliner Weisse.

Here's the result.




The bottles on the left are the Olympia and Rainier is on the right. They are slightly different but both hold 11 fl.oz.

I was going for the look of the original Berliner Kindl Weisse bottle.


I also managed to get 4 standard 12 oz. bottles that I'll hold on to for the NHC.

Sweet. I like the stubby, sub 12 oz bottles for my hi-grav stuff.

Cute!

Did ya have to put books under them to cap 'em?

Not seeing any pics.

No, I have an adjustable height bench capper.

Those bottles are awesome. Like the labels too, remind me of like a 50's or 60's classic.

I thought you were going with these labels.

Reminds me of high school and cases of Oly stubbies, man did I ever consume a hell of a lot of those. Cases were $4.99 for 24

Damn, and I thought I had a big DVD collection:cross:

Those bottles look kinda like VB bottles here in Aus.

VB is probably the Aussie equivalent of Budweiser, except not as tasteles.... but almost.

There is no US equivalent to VB... Not even the yanks make swill that bad..

VB, Bud, Tooheys New, MGD, XXXX, Fosters............ its all crap.

But the point is... the bottles are similar I think. Don't know about the capacity though... I don't do ounces.

11oz = 325ml

50ml short of being a man sized beer.....

LOL

Ooooooo I love stubbies! They're so hard to find around here, except for frickin $8-a-sixer Red Stripe. I wish Full Sail's Session Lager had crown caps instead of twistoffs....

I saw a thread not too long ago that said you could use twistoffs if you have a bench capper.

Both the labels and the bottles look great, BT.
