Swing Top Bottles

Swing Top Bottles and Flip Top Glass Bottles

Swing top bottles are reusable glass bottles with a built-in flip top closure, making them a convenient choice for beer, cider, mead, kombucha, soda, sparkling water, and other small-batch beverages. They seal without a capper, open easily, and can be cleaned and reused when handled properly.

These bottles are especially useful for homebrewers and fermentation makers who want a resealable package for bottle conditioning, gifting, tasting pours, and small-batch packaging. Amber glass helps protect beer and hop-forward beverages from light, while clear glass can be useful when appearance and color are part of the presentation.

When to use swing top bottles

Use flip top bottles when you want a clean, reusable closure and do not want to crown cap every bottle. They are a good fit for many still or lightly sparkling beverages, but pressure matters. For bottle-conditioned beer, cider, sparkling mead, or kombucha, confirm that the bottle style is appropriate for carbonation and avoid over-priming.

For larger packaging projects, compare swing tops with standard beer bottles, wine bottles, and our broader bottling and canning supplies. If you are calculating carbonation sugar before packaging, use our priming sugar calculator.
