Review on Glass Grolsch Beer Bottles, Pint Size - 16 Oz Amber 12 Pack - Airtight Seal With Swing Top/Flip Top Stoppers - Supplies For Home Brewing & Fermenting Of Alcohol, Kombucha Tea, Wine, & Homemade Soda by Caroline Jackson

This is my second order of flip top bottles. The bottles I ordered about 3 months ago were top quality and very sturdy. Needing more bottles I ordered the same product from the same seller and I can confidently say these bottles are not the same quality as the first order a few months ago. While these bottles still seal and will ultimately work, there are a number of things different. The first is the seal on the flip top is not a quality seal like the pervious product received. The seal is the cheap orange rubber ring as opposed to the red molded rubber seal. The plastic on the flip top is also softer, not the same quality as prior. The most obvious deficiency however, is the glass itself. The glass on the newer shipment I received is much less uniform and uneven. When you put it up to the light you can see many imperfections in each bottle. The first dozen ordered had nothing like this on any of the bottles in the package. The bottles in every way have an all around cheaper and inferior look.As I said before these bottles will work but I have a feeling the orange rubber rings placed on these bottles will not hold up over time the same way the molded red seals do.I'm not sure if this seller changed distributors or this was just a bad batch but needless to say I will not be ordering these again.
