    Sorry amigo, It looks like you're going to have to buy a 12er of Sam Adams or Hoegaarden.

    Two weeks ago I would've been able to help you out, but now I'm in norcal so sorry. You may want to try the US-Pacific Forum if you haven't already bottled.

    If you were in GA, I'd love to help you. Between me, my neighbors and whatnot, I have a 30x30x18 crate FULL of bottles, so full, it's hard to carry to the road for recycle pick up.

    I don't bottle anymore, but I would love to help someone out locally if you need bottles.

    Volunteer at a local homebrew competition, either as a judge or as a steward, if you're not prepared to judge. Bring home all the de-labeled bottles you can fit in your car! You can even bring home cases of full bottles of those entries that didn't move on to BOS (most don't). Free lunch and a day of drinking some fine homebrews is icing on the cake!

    Visit your local watering hole and ask for a few cases of craft bottles. Just make sure they are not twist offs. Offer to bring a few home brews back. You will make friends quick.

    Cheers!

    If you are bottling tonight then you may be SOL. Can you get bottles at the CA Redemption Centers?
