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.

Pouring the v4 plaster beer bottle mold
This project is a testament to my wife's patience with me using her kitchen as a mold making shop. Most of the tools I need are there. I nice stable table to run two 3D printers, lots of room and plugins, electrical appliances, utensils and supplies of every type, good lighting. And pleasant company!
I have already poured PMC-746 rubber into 3D printed block molds and have printed and put in place stabilizers to hold the rubber in place. Embeds are in place on both the bottle base and bottom mold (upper right). The flexibility of this rubber is amazing, it make possible extraction of the plaster base, although with difficulty. It also preserves the embossed logo on the foot. This is version 4 (version 5 will have a shallow base piece and modified sliding natches).
The bottle is more important than the beer!
What is depicted here doesn't happen with ceramic beer bottles. They do the talking. They talk about how we should be manufacturing our own stuff locally. They remind us that we make beer here so we should also make the bottles. They tell us we should take pride in things we can manufacture ourselves. That we should use local raw materials rather than importing them. Glass bottles are just a container, ceramic bottles elevate beer, they bring sustainability and style to beer drinking. Ceramic bottles bring local craftsmen to your beer experience - potters can make them. Ordinary glass will always be just ordinary glass, but ceramic bottles bring a world of aesthetic possibilities to this basic part of our culture.
Regular bottles of beer looking very humble beside the ceramic one
This is v2 ceramic beer bottle in a common-sized 6-pack case. Of course, our case will have our logo and artwork. I paid $19 for it. They threw in the bottles of beer for free! That is a ceramic bottle that has bumped out the ordinary glass one and is showing off its size and superior character. But it is a tight fit in this case - it appears to be 4mm too large in diameter. I am sworn not to have another beer until it is served in a proper ceramic bottle like this. So if you live in my home town and want those six unneeded bottles, let me know.
