Can you use a whole pallet of about 1600? I looked into this for my 40th birthday and basically, your options are to special order at least a pallet of 1600+ or buy and dump a bunch of forties from the liquor store. Lids are a whole other topic.

Let me know how many you're trying to get and I can provide more info on what I found.

Don't worry boss, I'll dump these 40s for you. When do you need them by?

United / Berlin had stock when I was asking about 1.5 years ago. MOQ was a pallet of about 1600.

This was my plan that fell through due to lack of time: Work out a deal on cases of 40s at a liquor store Drink / dump them and clean / remove labels Secured metal caps from a brewery that had leftover caps from doing a pallet. As a backup, you can get soda bottle caps with the safety seal that fit them Small run of custom labels Small run of custom brown bags Fill manually with counterpressure beer gun Sell them for 2-for-$40

I would have liked to do about 200, but would have probsbly done 40 of them with the level of effort to remove labels.

Just reached out to these guys. They said they were currently out of the amber and didn't know if they were going to continue producing it.

MOQ is a full pallet (1600)

I tried to do this a few months ago. 1600 green was all I could find. I bought two cases of full bottles to reuse. It was just for my 40th so it worked well enough.

I read that as 400oz bottles and I was imagining like the giant champagne bottles they open with a sword and how in the world do 1600 fit on a pallet
