Ceramic Beer Bottles
Say goodbye to ordinary glass and elevate beer with ceramic bottles.
The second one is glass. The others are durable stoneware. They keep your beer colder longer. They are refillable and safer when broken. Our bottles will be crafted by local artisans, bringing sustainability and style to your beer experience. Partnering with Digitalfire.com we will also help other potters and small manufacturers make them.
The 3D printing and slip casting processes
With this glaze these look so much like regular glass bottles it is hard to tell them apart. But there is a big difference: These don't need to be made by companies that can afford gigantic equipment and investment needed to mass produce glass bottles. These can be made in a home studio and by small business (using our help you can do it).
A black casting body
This clay body is the casting version of Plainsman Coffee Clay. It burns darker, smoother and harder. As stoneware these bottles offer multiple advantages over glass: They are more durable, broken shards are much less of a cutting hazard, they retain cold better, they are refillable, the potential for aesthetic is much greater (in shape, color, decoration). Of course, the greatest advantage: They are cool, historic, traditional and can be made by small manufacturers.
A native durable glaze
This glaze is actually an amber transparent code-numbered GA6-B. It is made from a clay named "Alberta Slip" (produced by Plainsman Clays). Over the dark-burning clay body it has the same high gloss deep brown as normal beer bottles. Fired at stoneware temperatures this glaze is more durable than bottle glass. And it contains no heavy metal colorants, only iron oxide.
