Is it really worth saving one and a half pence or as it used to be called, a penny ha'penny, on a pint of beer ?

Thanks. Tbh never thought about bulk. That is a very good price. Been brewing so long I never thought to check.

They would last me about 200 years 🤣🤣🤣
To be honest, used caps are easier and quicker to use.

My last purchase was of 800, because my stack was down to 200 and those are now gone.

C'mon now you know you want this title.
900 anywhere.
950 on the Internet

Who has ordered the most caps in one go?

My wife bought me 1200, each of which had my logo on them (minimum order size). They were more than 1.5p each 👀

Still plenty left - I cannot use them for competition entries as they would unblind my entries.

How are they quicker? Or easier?

One negative I would say is that the oxygen scavenging liners in crown caps are single use (as far as I know). Might not matter to you, but it reusing them is not ideal.

Imagine the money you're wasting on shoe leather getting to the pub and back though!
