Bottle Alert!

I was at a party last night, and somebody there had a case of 588ml bottles of little creatures. Nice thick glass, crown seal, should be a winner.

Sounds the perfect size for pouring a pint, and leaving a tiny bit of sediment behind.

We saw an empty one of those on display at the wheatsheaf today, were puzzling over it a little.

Been getting these for a while at my local Bottlemart. I couldn't find any LCPA in their fridge and so when I asked staff if they stocked it he pointed to the 'tallies' on the bottom shelf. $6 each.

A bit off topic but, with so few genuine crown sealers nowaday apart from Coopers and these new ones, I've built up a fair collection of Bavaria tallies, beautiful green colour, crown seal, 660ml. Always on special at Liquorland 3 for $11 and a nice Dutch quaffing cold lager. Hopefully they won't go twist top anytime soon.

Wyatt, which shop? do they sell by the case? Ive noticed Vintage Cellars Darby street, Liquorland at Junction and Market town and a few others have regularly run out of Little Creatures of any size.

Otherwise, I'll have to buy a case every time im in Sydney

Bottlemart next to The Beauford, Maitland Rd Mayfield - across from KFC. I haven't looked at buying a case - I just grab a few loose ones from their every now and then. Woolworths liquor at Mayfield also have a few cases of stubs on hand as well as James Squire etc. See, Mayfield does have a little class....... ok no we don't.

thanks - I'll check it out!

Me too Bribie, these beauties make up about 80% of all my bottles of homebrew. I had a fun time collecting them all. It was all i was drinking at one stage. My local bottleshop has them at $45 a case (15 x 660mL).

Get's a pint's worth in your glass, then a big first sip, then top up pint glass, rinse bottle and enjoy rest of pint.

There great roadies....

I bottle into PET bottles but always put at least two in LCPA Pint bottles...

 

[samhighley]

Crap, that's a good price for 15 LCPA, at $3 per bottle. I'm paying more like $6 by the bottle.

 

[benny_bjc]

A pint bottle is 568ml.

Has anyone noticed how much better LCPA tastes out of the pint bottles compared to the stubbies!?

The stubbies have hardly any flavour or aroma, but the pints are a whole different story!!

 

[buttersd70]

So you get 568 mL of un-balanced ordinaryness, compared top 375 mL of un-balanced ordinaryness??

Wow. Thats convenient!

I'd be buying them regularly if they were that price but I think he's talking about Bavaria bottles.

So true. I wonder if bottle conditioning really helps the beer?

LCPA has changed a lot in recent years. The aroma is definitely gone.
