    There are a few places mentioned in this thread that you could try, I assume they still stock them. Have never seen these personally though.

    Out of interest why in particular do you want them?

    Many people will pay a bit extra for glass bottles over aluminium cans of the same beer. Bud is usually €1 a bottle or less these days, in the thread linked it was €2.79 in the offie. If this reflects a ridiculously higher price to the off licence owner then I can see why they do not stock these gimmicks.

    €6.70 in the Q bar, over €8 a pint.

    Some people fall for the "cold" marketing bullsh!t. They cool faster, just like cans, but a glass bottle insulates itself and thats one reason why I prefer them.

    "Cooler longer" claim

    A study conducted by engineering science students at Loyola College in Maryland suggested that the liquid content of aluminium bottles stays slightly colder than the liquid content of glass bottles when allowed to warm at room temperature.[2] These results were not corroborated by a 2005 study at Bucknell University, which found that "the fluid in the aluminium bottle cools much faster than the glass bottle, and once removed from a cold source and exposed to room temperature, the glass bottle remained cooler longer than the aluminium bottle." [3] This conclusion is consistent with the fact that the thermal conductivity of aluminium (237 W/(m·K))[4] is significantly higher than that of glass (1.1 W/(m·K))[4]. While the glass versus aluminium debate may make sense in connection with beer bottles, soft drinks are another matter. The majority of those bottles are currently plastic, while most beer bottles are glass.
