500 ml NRW white MCA

What is the NRW bottle?

The “NRW bottle” is a specific type of beer bottle widely used in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), Germany. The name “NRW bottle” stands for “North Rhine-Westphalia bottle”, as this bottle shape was developed in North Rhine-Westphalia and is frequently used there. This bottle has a characteristic shape, typical of certain types of beer and breweries.

NRW bottle has a cylindrical shape and slightly bulbous. It has a straight side that widens slightly toward the middle and then tapers gently downward. The bottle has a flat bottom and stands stably on a flat surface. The neck of the bottle is relatively short and ends in a wide opening, large enough to easily drink or pour the beer.

NRW bottles are usually made of brown or green glass to protect the beer from harmful light and preserve its quality.

A typical size of NRW bottle is 330 ml (about 11.2 ounces). However, there are other sizes that can be used for different types of drinks.

NRW bottles are usually sealed with a crown cork to keep the beer fresh and carbonated.

The NRW bottle is used by many breweries in North Rhine-Westphalia for various types of beer, including Lager, Pilsner, Kölsch and others. It is popular with beer lovers in the region and is also seen outside NRW in Germany and other countries.
