Re: Pickaxe and other returnable bottles

Thanks for that post Oliver, great info. Was wondering if anyone has seen the green Pickaxe longnecks. I was given 3 dozen some time back, was told they were made especially for home brew, but don't know if that's correct. They are the same as other 750ml ones but green.
