CultusWares Swing Top Bottles - Brown Glass Beer Swing Stopper Bottles X12 (330ml)

These swing-top bottles are the crown jewel of homebrewing. Sturdy, stylish, and so satisfying to use, they make bottling my IPA feel like a professional operation. The brown glass is not just classy—it’s practical, keeping my brew safe from light and tasting as fresh as the day I bottled it.The swing stoppers are a dream—secure, airtight, and oddly therapeutic to open and close. Every time I pop one, I feel like I’m unveiling a secret batch of liquid gold. And with 12 bottles in the pack, there’s plenty of room for all my hoppy experiments (and some to share, if I’m feeling generous).If you’re a homebrewer, these bottles are a no-brainer. They’re the kind of thing that makes you want to brew more just for the joy of using them. Five stars and a hearty cheers to CultusWares for making my IPA look as good as it tastes! 🍻

Sadly one bottle got broken in transit but that's to be expected these days. They are very good and I have already reused them once already.

I bought these bottles (12 x 330ml) to bottle my first batch of homebrew, after having received a Brooklyn Brew Shop kit as a gift.The bottles arrived well packaged; each bottle was individually wrapped in bubble-wrap, and the caps were separately wrapped in pairs. That confused me at first, as I thought I'd got 12 bottles and 6 caps... Perhaps a bit too much plastic for the times, but I guess when you're shipping glass you do want to make sure to minimise breakages.No issues cleaning the bottles with an appropriately sized bottle brush, and assembly was quite straightforward. You do need to apply a bit of pressure to get the swing top on and sat nicely in the indentations on the bottle neck, but not so much that you'd risk bending them.My first batch of beer was, of course, bottle conditioned and it's been in these bottles now for just over 3 weeks. I should say that, despite following the beer kit instructions, I over-carbed the beer. That's on me. The pressure inside the bottle is sufficient to send the swing top flying (across my living room, in the first case) when it's opened, and there's a little fountain of foam shortly behind it.THIS IS NOT A CRITICISM OF THE BOTTLES. Over carbonation is a risk in homebrewing, because you don't want the bottle to go pop. The fact that the bottles have, so far, withstood the pressure of an over carbonated beer is in my opinion a positive reflection of the sturdiness of the bottle.I think the only negative for me would be the price point; at £18 for 12 bottles (£1.50 / bottle) it's a bit steep, especially as I've since bought another 24 500ml bottles from elsewhere for much less - though admittedly they're PET. Still, the bottles are a good weight, they feel robust and have so far handled my shoddy too-much-gas homebrew with no issues.Overall, good product.

Great product, unfortunately one bottle was broken. Typical Amazon delivery, driver away on his toes before I answered the door. Picking up the box, it clearly had at least one broken inside it and rattled with the unmistakable sound of broken glass. Cheers Amazon driver, great job!

These are good value . The rubber seals can be removed easily for heat sterilising.

These mostly worked. However 3 of the bottles had weak seals from poorly fitted arm swings, which meant failures under carbonation pressure. This lead to three lost bottles of homebrew. Tragic.

Used to store finished mead. Seal top is air tight with 0 leaks while upside down. Easy to wash and solidly made

Great looking bottles and good quality tops. Home brew cider, second fermentation in the bottle and all 34 have held their seal. Admittedly the first (1/2 full) bottle blew the lid off when opened, but the other full bottles have opened fine! There was a lot of pressure built up in the first one so I blame my self, not the bottle! Delivered quickly and well packed, none broken.
