Here it is, Ball's AlumiTek screw top aluminum bottle, disguised as Miller Lite Beer. I got 9 in a pack, drank out of one, and am pouring the rest into glass, to save the bottles to refill with homebrew.
I've been doing some digging and discussing the feasibility of this bottle, generic/no label, sterile, CO2 filled (yes, I said empty) and sealed AlumiTek bottle packaged for use for our homebrew community.
What would you pay for a case of 12 from your LHBS? I'd seriously consider $6 + recycle value if all I had to do on bottling day was twist off a cap, fill, and re-twist the cap back on. No sanitation required, a blanket of CO2 in the bottle, plus all the benefits of lightproof, shatterproof, quick chillin', etc. aluminum cans...TBC[/quote]
I'm assuming they'd be reusable? Obviously would have to sanitize them after the first time, but I'd pay at least $1 a bottle just for the durability and ability to take camping, on the river, etc.
