Where to buy bottles?

[Hoser]

Hi All,

I have not bottled beer since I started kegging over a year ago. Due to damand from friends and family to share my beer, I have now baught a beer gun and have gone through all of the bottles I had stored up. Does anyone know of a decent place to buy bottles at a good price? I dont want to buy a pallet load and will probably be looking to buy 100-200 330ml or 500ml brown bottles at a time. Any advice would be great.

when i got back into brewing and had to buy some (painful though that is) I got some from the bottle company. They were the cheapest I could find at the time, and the quality was good.

good quality and service, not sure how they compare on price

Really depends where you live I suppose, and if you are looking to order online or not.

My LHBS in Glasgow sells 12 x 500ml brown glass bottles for £4.50 and they are excellent quality. So I would try your LHBS, if you have one, as a first port of call.

Could always ask your local pub for their empties?

If you don't mind plastic, tesco doing 24 for 7 quid with caps at the moment reduced from 10.

No need to buy bottles, get them free from your local. Saves them paying to dispose.
