Paulaner
Franziskaner
DFH
Sierra Nevada
Lexington Brewing (Kentucky bourbon barrel ale)
Sam Adams
Great Lakes brewing
Left Hand Brewing
Harpoon
I'm sure there are more that can be re-used safely. But I know these are good. Never broke any,except for the Sierra Nevada stubbies...two bottles I think. But I may have gorilla'd those with the capper.
The German bottles seem to carb the best with their longer,narrower neck. I noticed the Bud Light Platinum bottles have that same neck style. Too bad they're twist-offs.
Some Europeans bottles don't really fit the caps well.
Sweetwater and Magic Hat bottles work very well also.
+1 to Magic Hat bottles. Those seemed like the heaviest bottles and were far and away the easiest labels to remove. And I enjoy their beers, so its not a problem to me if I need to stock up on some new bottles.
bighorn_brew said:The Old Foghorn bottles from Anchor brewing co. We're noticeably thinner and when I capped a few the top just disintegrated in the capper.....moral: look for the heavier gauge bottles.
Anyone ever use the bottles from Deschutes before?
