Cheap Grolsch Bottles

[volkano]

Hey its that time a year again if you have an Aldi close to you they are selling Sparkling Pumpkin Cider for $1.99 and it comes in a Amber Grolsch style ez cap bottles. The cider is not great but its drinkable and the bottle is worth the $2 even if you dump the cider. The cider is better with some vodka or honey whiskey. Hope everyone is able to score some of these bottles.

I love that cider (and bottles). Try it with a shot of rum. Blends well I think.

Might actually check that out and buy like 6 of them since I kegged my first beer and will need to bottle some soon. Only 12oz I assume?

Thanks.

I think they're 16 oz bottles.

Are they ceramic or plastic tops?

They're (the tops) plastic, 16.9oz i believe.
The cider itself is a bit heavy on the ginger for my taste, but the bottles are great.

I plan on doing some liquors (limoncello, amaretto) for Christmas gifts and using these bottles

Plastic tops hard to find new bottles with ceramic at least around here. These remind me of the Fisher Beer Bottles.

Think I'll get some this weekend and use them like mini-growlers for my work buddies. Thanks for letting us know!

Is anyone else having trouble getting the top labels off of these things? The main label falls off in a warm soak in a few hours but the top one has so much adhesive on it it's a pain to get off cleanly.

Good soak in oxy seems to work for me. And they are on clearance for $1.49 now at my location.

All gone around here in 2 weeks. Gotta wait a year to get any more. (sigh)

Moral: if you see 'em, stock up on 'em.
