Hey. I'm brewing beer and need empty bottles (swing cap preferably) to transfer my beer into to allow for carbonation. Does anywhere in Hamilton sell these? Or should I just poke around bars selling Beau's and ask them?

Brew time has them. Picked some up last week.
Beau's uses croen caps I believe. Nickelbrook sells bottles but I doubt swing tops.
Ikea sells them. I put my cider in them. They're like 2 bucks a bottle.
They sell them in two sizes, as well, so they'd be good for larger batches.
Brewtime has bottles and supplies at good prices. Just an opinion, swing caps aren't alway the best for carbonation. Poly bottles and caps are pretty cheap. Your mileage may vary.
Happy Brewing!
Brew time. The guy that brews the beer there knows his stuff and can even whip up recipes on the fly. Also, Ontario Beer Kegs OBK is an online retailer with lots of supplies and ingredients.

My first brew using a kit and only 1 gallon but good to know for future brews!
Brew time on upper James used to sell them but I haven’t been in a few years. Another option is to see if anybody from the homebrew club called HOZER has any for sale if you aren’t part of it already. Last option might be to keep an eye on Kijiji I picked up 48 grolsch bottles for cheap on there a few years back.
Kijiji sounds like a good idea: https://www.kijiji.ca/b-ontario/grolsch-bottles/k0l9004
Exactly what I was looking for thanks
