Subject: Crown-sealable Bottles Sydney


Hi,

Does anyone know where I'd be able to get cheap crown-sealable 750ml bottles
in Sydney, Australia? I don't mind if they're secondhand (i.e. from a
bottle depot) or if I have to drink a couple of slabs of commercial beer to
get them. As far as I'm aware though there aren't any commercial brewers
here that sell beer in these bottles anymore. I hope I'm wrong though.

Cheers,

Matt.

Try using the twist top 750 bottles and capping with a bench capper
(ONLY) all other methods of capping crack or tear off the neck.

I have been using Carlton Mid bottles for years, I do a fair bit of
travelling so I buy king browns when Im away and bring the empties back.

There are other brand in browns as well eg VB Swan etc.

Cheers Ian

Coopers pale ale comes in 750 ml bottles - they are even non twist off
( the old style )and the beer is very drinkable
