Longneck Beer Bottles 50cl Brown (26mm Crown Cap) - New Glass Bottles for Homebrewing
The 50cl longneck is the tall, elegant classic of the beer shelf — the half-litre bottle with the slender neck that generations of Dutch and German brewers have capped their best batches into. These are brand new, never-filled bottles in deep amber glass with the standard 26mm crown cap mouth: rinse, sanitise, fill, cap — no label stripping, no residue, no gamble on what someone bottled before you.
Half a litre is the sharing format: a proper pour for two glasses, the traditional size for bottle-conditioned specials, and the bottle that makes a brew look like it came from a brewery. The amber glass blocks the UV light that skunks hop compounds within minutes in clear glass, and the tall shoulder gives a clean pour that leaves the yeast where it belongs. A 20-litre batch fills roughly 40 of these — two 24-packs covers a brew day with bottles to spare. Caps go on with any standard 26mm capper; the bottles themselves go around for years.
