I have a bunch of the old Fischer 'd Alsace bottles from back in the day before they quit importing them.

Emptying the bottles was half the fun.

That Belgian ale/barley wine was sneaky. 14% or so. Oof.

I did home brews for a while largely because I had a bottle cap press from my grandmother and a big ‘ol bag of caps with a cork seal - might have been prohibition era caps?

Later on I’d use Corona bottles because the 12 packs had a nice sturdy box with handles and you could see easily when to stop pouring to avoid the sediment and as with the Grolsch you had to drink the beer to get the bottle.

In the boxes, in a closet and then transferred to the ‘fridge made exposure to light a non-problem.

Its been a while but my recollection is that the hardest part was waiting 6 weeks before enjoying the fruits of my labors. ;-)

JRF: Sorry the Fischer ‘d Alsace is no longer available - if you want a real beer why mess around with the light stuff? ;-)
