Ever find yourself picking a commercial beer based on what kind of bottles you need?

I'm guilty of this as well. I'm trying to accumulate enough bottles to have a batch each of stubbies (like redstripe), Sierra Nevada style, and the cool bottles Boulevard uses for their smokestack series (Tank 7, the Sixth Glass, etc)...I can't wait to start Kegging!

On a side note, OP, unless you're using a bench capper the lagunitas bottles can't be capped with a 'wing' capper. YMMV, but I have just recently tossed a case of them for that exact reason!
 
Yep, I've done it, though not anymore, as I have more bottles than I can possibly use. Back then if I was in the store and it was a tie-breaker between Beer A and Beer B, and Beer B was in long neck poptops, then B got the nod.

We go through a lot of ginger beer, particularly Bundaberg, from Australia. Needless to say, I have lots of Aussie stubbies for bottling, as well.

Now that I'm set for bottles, I can check out more craft beer in cans, which is getting more and more prevalent.
