Any of you guys keep commercial bottles?

For some reason I have a an attachment to some commercial beer bottles. Haha. I particularly like the screenprinted bottles, etc. Anyway, the GF is not happy about this, and she is starting to strong-arm my bottle collection out of our house! We currently don't have a "man-cave" type space in our house, so I am pretty SOL. Any ideas how I can undermine her, and/or put the bottles to use in a creative/interesting way so that she tolerates them?

:shh:

Fill them full of homebrew - even better if its a style/recipe she likes.

One more thing, feel free to snap a photo of your bottle collection if you have one.

She seems to be warming up to the idea of a bottle shelf:

A few chunks of maple or something and that would be decent with bombers.

Well the bombers would be retired, for sure. They've served well. :lol:

I just save the 650ml bombers. I plan on filling them from the keg for sharing my brew.

Hmm... That's a good way to get kids to drink milk.

I like that. Are those retail, or home jobs?

there's a thing on instructables that shows how to make them.. I'm not sure how those particular ones were done.
