It would be much easier just to drink some beer and save the bottles...right?

That's how I get mine! Spend $10-12 for some bottles and they come w/ free beer!

There's also a free bottle thread somewhere with people offering to give away their extras.

Thanks guys, I have been trying to do just that but can't keep up. I am at approx. 500 bottles at the moment in my possession, but have the need for at least another 500 more. This year is turning into a epic brewing year so far. Any help is kindly appreciated!

Sounds like you might be getting ready to exceed your 100 gallon annual legal limit of home-brew... nudge nudge, wink wink... say no more... Unless you're married then you can make 200 gallons

Sounds more like you need a keg!

I assume you've put the word out to your friends? I amassed my collection from friends, and dumpster diving at the local recycling center - before they closed .

Tell your local bars why you need them, and see if they'd save some for you? (I tried that, but all the beer joints around me sell is 3.2 Whatever Lite twist-offs)

Been to the bars in my area, all the owners say is against state law to give or sell me empties, Local liquor stores all say they don't keep empties. They get smashed in the return machines. I've got word out to friends and family but thought here would be a good place to try as well.

Does your LHBS sell bottles? Mine happens to do so

I stopped by my LHBS last week and they had free bottles sitting out in front of the store. There was at least 100 bottles to choose from. Granted, they are used bottles with labels on them, but they are free.

Where do you live? First I've heard about giving bottles away being illegal. That's crazy.
