Breweries still using hutter stopper bottles (html file)


This brewery list for sure is not complete. In case you know additional breweries still using swing top bottles, please let me know. In addition manny breweries use plain stoppers without a print of a logo or the name of the brewery on top of the stoppers. These kind of stoppers of course are not of interest to collectors like me, but the informantion wheather there is a print on top of these stoppers is difficult to get. So if you have this information, missing for manny breweries in my list, please let me know.
