Expensive bottles... why not just re-use?

My favorite bottles to use are the Jolly Pumpkin 750mL. They're shaped like most belgian bottles that use a cork & wire, but the top fits a normal crown cap instead. These bottles cap with fine with a slightly modified wing capper, no need for a bench capper. The bottles are super heavy duty, and hold about 25 ounces, which cuts my bottling time and work down quite a bit. Not to mention the beer that comes in them is some of the best in the country

the new Sierra Nevada 30th anniversary beers come in those Belgian style bottles with a normal crown cap top

I like Fat Tire bottles. They are stubby and teh labelks come off very easily with just hot water and a soak. the hardest label to remove to date has been Pliny The Elder.

I recommend buying and drinking Sierra Nevada Pale, Stout, Torpedo, Porter, Celebration... to get the stubies you need. We have to suffer for our art.

It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it
