I have found New Belgian Brewery 12oz bottles don't work well for me. I tend to crack them when I am bottling. They are the only ones I have had this issue with. Their 22oz bottles are fine.
When you pick up a NBB 12 oz bottle and compare it to other 12 oz bottles it feels like a stunt bottle it is so light.
Would any of you recommend the grolsch bottles? I like the idea of not having to bottle it but is the seal durable enough to last? And is the green bottle really going to affect the quality of the beer?

i've been using grolsch bottles for 15 years and haven't had any problems ( i still have many w ceramic caps)- you can change the gaskets when you need to and i haven't really noticed any skunking as a result. i know i have read that beer can skunk in seconds, but i like to drink in the sunshine, don't have brown stemware, and don't normally finish a beer that fast- so maybe i'm just used to skunked beer.Would any of you recommend the grolsch bottles?
