Does anyone have any recommendations for a wholesale glass bottle supplier in the UK who supplies homebrewers? I can't abide those Brown long necked ones. I would rather a nice clear shouldered bottle a la Greene King's IPA bottle if possible.
Thanks Kevin.
Try asking some of your local micro's - they might be the best place to buy a few bottles from.

Light can affect taste and is why beer bottles are usually made of dark glass.
Try a short brown one then. There is a very good reason why beer is put in brown bottles and as a home brewer I would have thought that you would know that. If not you still need to learn more about your chosen craft. Mind you, judging by the question, are you sure you would not be happier drinking Bud ( American ).

Thanks for the information regarding why to use Brown bottles. As you are probably aware from the basic level of questioning, this is my first foray into brewing beer at home so you can expect me to have little knowledge of the chemistry. The current book I am reading does not discuss the impact of light on the beer but I will certainly look into it now.

What sort of quantity are you looking for
Probably around 50-100. Depending on volume of beer produced through the Winter months.
Kevin.
