Bottles

by andy on 1st April 2010

The recent duty rise (6% !!!) has lead me to investigate how we might reduce our costs in other areas to keep prices down. I’m thinking of using a new pattern for our bottles. The Klein bottle.

The problem with our standard 500ml bottle is that it only holds 500ml, so you need a fair number to contain a single brew. These bottles don’t have that problem, the inside is continuous with the outside so each one can hold any amount of liquid* up to the volume of the visible universe (currently 4.2 x 10^69 cubic miles).

I’ll only need one.

I’ve alerted West Sussex County Council trading standards and I understand that the absent due to sickness rate has gone up alarmingly.

…I’m thinking of getting some glasses following the same pattern. Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m very proud to introduce Adur Brewery’s new Klein Stein.

If you’d like to get bottles or glasses like this yourself go to kleinbottle.com.

*Some people claim that actually they have a volume of zero. Obviously I’m not going to listen to such nattering nabobs of negativity – they can’t even tell me if it’s zero litres or zero pints!
