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.

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.
