Monster Mini Bottles

I've been looking for some nice SMALL bottles for use in homebrew for cider, mead, or even beer. Monster makes a small dose of their energy drink called the M3. It's supposed to be the same amount of energy as their 16 ounce drink, but packed into a 5 ounce container. (FWIW I had some and I hardly noticed the effect. I'm sensitive to caffeine, so I was surprised. A look at the label mad it seem as though it was made more like a 5-hour energy, rather than a real ENERGY drink.)

This is what the bottle looks like. I wish it was brown, but green is ok if you keep it boxed up in the closet.



You can see a tiny Monster logo cast into the bottle, but hey, if you name your drink starting with an "M", you're all set!

I've seen brown 7 ounce bottles that Flying Dog used in an imperial sampler pack but never anything smaller. Your best bet is to look for a retailer that sells the smaller bottles, I'm sure drinking cases of Monster Energy drink will give you cancer in the long run.

I've looked for ANY retailer that might sell small brown bottles and haven't found any.

And the Flying Dog stuff is very limited.

The stuff that I've looked at from the ingredients list on this is natural (or possibly a synthetic of natural) and not proven to be harmful or beneficial at twice the dosage listed.

I am NOT a proponent of energy drinks, but I might drink 2 of these or so a week to get the bottles. It's not like I'm pounding them down like the high school kids...

Northern brewer has 187 ml clear champagne bottles that would work but they are out of stock.

I found some 7 oz brown crown cap bottles at Winn Dixie. They were in the mexican food section, filled with WD brand malta. They were on sale at 2 6 packs for $4.

are you looking for something with a cap? or would a cork do it for you?

What the heck is Winn Dixie?

This link has some clear ones:

I've found several others but sites related to beer/tobacco are blocked here at work and I can't get into them. Just google "7 oz Beer Bottle"

Sorry, didn't realize they only had stores in the south.

Man its a real shame you cant buy cases of pony bottles anymore.

When i tended bar at the American Legion while in college I'd throw away 8 to 10 cases of Schmidt's pony bottles every night.

Of course, after having had Schmidt's in them they probably wouldn't be fit to use for anything else.
