Cerberus Imperial Stout

[MyQul]

St. Peters Brewery bottles, originally filled with Ruby Red & Golden Ale. There's a story behind the bottles on their website.

In case you fancy collecting a set, they're absolute hell to get the labels & gum off them, unlike my other set of bottles (McEwan's Champion) which just floated off by themselves after a couple of hours in hot water/oxi.

Despite soaking them for weeks, still took me ages with a razor blade to clean them off. Decided then that I would only use them for something special i.e. no session beer.

Edit: Add website link.

When I replaced all my PET bottles with glass at the start of the year I had mixed results, regaarding ease of removal, with different types of lables. Plasticy ones are the best. They just peal off in one go. The Kernal Brewery ones were the worst. They were like brown paper stuck on with superglue - I gave up on those ones and just got the ones I knew were easier to remove

I got all my bottles as empties from my LHBS which also has a bottle shop from various microbreweries around London. So they don't have any st peters beer in stock for me to get my hands on the bottles. Meantime brewery bottles are nice too. They stock meantime ales so I was able to get a few empties
