The Funkwerks tap room goes through a fair number of those hefty 750 ml Champagne bottles, so a while back I asked if they'd save their empties for me. They ended up putting a little wooden bin just outside the brewery that says "Bottle Exchange," and you can just back your car up and take away as many as you like.
These are really sturdy, punted brown bottles that are ideal for highly carbonated beers and sparkling wine. The only catch is they require 29 mm bottle caps, and you may need a bench capper (If you swap out the bell and the little plates on some wing cappers, you might have luck.). Or you can cork them.
If you live in Northern Colorado or make it up here from time to time, go help yourself to some free fancy bottles!
