Hi Geoff,

I know that the Sawmill Brewery in Leigh import swingtops from Germany (I'm sure they have 500mL ones), try contacting them.

Hi Rich. Thanks for that. I've just spoken with Peter from Sawmill and next time he's importing some he's going to include us in his order. Reckon I owe you a beer!
Cheers, Geoff.

Hi Geoff

http://www.arthurholmes.co.nz
I purchased some glass jars off these guys a few years ago and they were professionals. No job too big or small. Couldn't recommend them more.

However...
Have you looked at "growlers" (glass flagons) with screw on caps?
Emerson's and Galbraith's both have nice green flagons that I believe come from medical suppliers. I think Emerson's have new ones - the old ones weren't quite as good as the Galbraith's ones but they were pretty good. It is worth contacting each of them, they'll put you right.

Good luck and slainte mhath
Stu

It looked like it might wear out so I gave mine away to someone who I knew couldn't fill it ;-)
I'm still using plastic but thinking I'll work something more permanent out sometime.

Have they gone away? I love my two growlers. They get filled whenever I go to GB (about bi-monthly).

I bought 9 dozen bottles from Renaissance brewery for $75 couriered to my Door - I think he has plenty more. They are great bottles (once you get the super sticky labels off). not swing top tho.
