Have you tried Aluminum Bottles??

I have started seeing a lot of the new 16 ounce aluminum bottles
around. I notice that they have a pry off lid rather than a screw off
top. A standard (Brewers best) cap seems to fit them just like a 12
ounce glass long neck. Has anyone tried bottling with these yet?
Thanks

I have tried to re-cap them and with a bench capper they work, I haven't
tried refilling them, I would think that the cleaning solutions would
oxidize the aluminum.
Thanks

haven’t seen one yet, but I'm dying to hear if they are useable!

I'm just starting to see them commercially. I was surprised that my local brew club offers cans as an option.

 

Why would you take Aluminum over glass?  My thought is that glass be far superior....

 

Maybe some people would prefer aluminum bottles for the same reasons people choose cans.

They're lighter, chill more quickly and are less fragile.

Personally, if I pour the brew into a mug or glass I don't think I can tell the difference.
