This is by no means anything new, but it had never dawned on my to ever use a beer bottle in such a capacity.
I have spent the week drinking a 12 pack of Sam Adams Rebel IPA (not the best IPA, but a decent drink).
I started thinking of brewing beer, I also though if bottling my cider in beer bottles, which lead to bottling SP in beer bottles.
Anyway in a whim I started delabeling beer bottles and cleaning.
When racking and bottling my Brunello I was left with just over 1/2 a wine bottle.
Now usually that meant I had to drink the 1/2 to save the wine from O2 exposure.
But then I though 1 750ml bottle is 25 oz and 1 beer bottle is 12oz.
I was thrilled to figure out what many, many people already know. It should be noted that my spouse and kids were neither thrilled or excited .
But now instead of using random snapple bottles or being forced to drink, I can save smaller amounts frot topping up.
It should be noted that drinking wine out of a beer bottle is just weird.
