Brown and Glass Review by TV

Rating

I purchased a case of thesee about a year ago and found them just as good as the commercial bottles. I also recycled a few cases from my local tavern. As long as you scrub them clean they are fine, no matter what was in the bottles! (Posted on 1/28/12)

Caveat emptor Review by 1000 Bottle of Beer on the Wall

Rating

A reminder for all homebrewers. Many commercial brews come in the classic form ... but it's important to have a bottle that will endure. Weigh your bottles! If a bottle comes in at 7 oz, it's OK, but not really heavy enough. Recycle them, don't refill them. A good bottle for homebrew should weigh in at 8 oz or more. How much do these bottles weigh? Good question. (Posted on 1/18/12)

go scrounge some bottles and wash them. seriously. Review by dill

seriously... these are the same or lesser quality than any non twist-off brown bottles. worried about removing labels? don't, you'll quickly figure out which ones come totally off after less than an hour of soaking and learn to pick those brands out of your local bar recycling bin. wash 'em up good, sanitize... and you've just saved natural resources and $$.

Yep its a Bottle Review by Chris

Does exactly what a brown bottle should do, and at a good price. The cardboard case comes in handy! (Posted on 10/29/11)

Better than cleaning! Review by C4Brewing

Old bottles with who only knows what's in them. For the price, you can't go wrong. (Posted on 10/14/11)

Perform as a bottle should Review by Joe

What can you say about a bottle?

The cardboard box they come in is real handy for storing your beer... much better than a stack of loose 6-packs.

I have 4 cases of these bottles, in addition to 4 cases of Sam Adams bottles, and thought it may be useful to base my review on a comparison of the two. There are two key differences that I noted. My Sam Adams bottles are slightly heavier (assuming that means thicker) as well as slightly darker than the NB bottles. If they are indeed thicker, the darker color would result. I don't think those differences are good, bad, or otherwise, but were just worth sharing.

As noted in other reviews, they were well packaged, and arrived in pristine condition. (Posted on 5/11/11)

Very Pleased Review by Deb

I was a little hesitant to order glass bottles, but they arrived faster than expected without so much as a nick or crack. Excellent packing and service!
I ordered 2 cases and they arrived in perfect condition today.
The box with dividers to hold the bottles is a bonus. Thanks (Posted on 2/25/11)

Holds liquid, is brown. Review by Jon

I bought a case of these because I couldn't drink two cases fast enough. I am ashamed of myself.

No broken bottles thus far, no chips, and they even hold liquid. Simply amazing, amiright?????

5 pints. Afterall, they're BOTTLES. (Posted on 2/16/11)

Great Bottles Review by William

I got two cases of these for my first homebrew in a long time. They came packaged really well and they also come in a cardboard case. The bottles are your average brown bottle but the look pristine not even a chip or crack to be seen. (Posted on 2/10/11)
