B&M have bottles of Grolsch at ã1.39. I stock up 2-3 every week. I must admit these bottles are a lot easier to work with than regular bottles.

Grabbed the only two boxes they had in the shop yesterday. One was even half price because one bottle and bottle top was missing lol! I only need about 20 so didn't mind :)

I've got over a hundred of these bottles. they are really good. I have no negatives to tell you about. I once bought five dozen online at once and because I spent over ã50 online, they were delivered free. I think at the time, my order came to something like ã49.75 and would have attracted a delivery charge, so I added a daft little steriliser sachet just to get the free delivery. I was looking for these bottles online a little while back and they had disappeared. I think they may just be running down stocks. They were at least a fiver cheaper than anywhere else. I think the Irish company The Home Brew Company whcih gives our forum members a discount also sell them, but they were about ã15 from them. They look like the exact same bottles.
EDIT:
Just looked at their online shop. They have them again. Buy some.

I ordered four boxes of these, as that seemed to be a good deal. I've been waiting three weeks for delivery, and I've got two brews that need bottling, but they emailed me today to say they are out of stock and have refunded my order. Rather unimpressed. Why let me order if they don't have themââ¬Â¦.

Wow that's pretty poor service... Not to rub the salt in or anything but I literally strolled into my local range and bought two boxes off the shelf... Might be worth checking out what they have in store if there is one close enough to you?

I'm not very close by to any I'm afraid, which is why the mail order offer seemed good. I'll have to look elsewhere...

oh no, that sucks! I think it's end of the line or something, as our local range hasn't had any more stock in after I bought the last ones. I need some more though, but don't know whether its a trip worth to the other shop.
they are really quite expensive online... where do you buy them? I need about another 20 and would prefer amber. i found some white ones in one of the brew shops for 25 but out of stock, too.

That's not too bad, thank you!
I was also wondering... I should be able to re-use those kind of bottles with a screw cap, shouldn~t I? I don't know if you know the ones I mean, theyre glass bottles with a metal cap but to open them you unscrew them like a plastic bottle. Then you can screw the cap back on. I buy the Perlenbacher Lager in Lidl sometimes which has those tops.

Shame about the Range running out of stock. The Home brew Co show stocks and sell them slightly more expensively. They look like the same bottles the Range had. They are more or less a quid each. The Range price was ã0.83. Not a whole lot of difference as long as they have stocks.

If you mean screw top bottles with metal caps then yes you can reuse them, according to forum members the threads eventually wear and they don't seal properly.
You could buy these which are reusable and great quality (i am now using them on my glass bottles)

Just been to the range in Glasgow, got the last box of their swing top bottles. On first inspection they look like good quality bottles, comparable with current grolsch bottles. Pity they didn't have any more was hoping to get at least two boxes.

Am I too dull or did they just send me the wrong bottles? Looks like normal bottles to me that they just threw some swing tops in! What am I supposed to do with that now? Wanted to bottle today.
