I chose to go the crown cap route for simplicity purposes. I found a glass bottle supplier that sells me clear 12 ounce beer bottles along with 375 and 750 ml wine bottles that accept crown caps. I was not able to source the clear bottles locally and the shipping cost as much as the bottles. That said, I have been pleased with clear, crown cap bottles.
If you go this route, be specific with supplier. When I say “I’ll take 2” I’m referencing 2 cases. Supplier hears 2 pallets. It was impressed that the supplier would deal with the small order of a home brewer.
