brown punted Champagne bottles

Does anyone have a supplier for brown punted 750 mL Champagne bottles that can take a cork and crown? I'm looking for ones similar to what The Bruery and Alesmith use. I've found flat bottom ones put not punted like they have. I contacted them and they order pallets from Germany...I'm only looking for a few cases. I have cases of green but would like some brown too.
Thanks,
Nate

I checked with one of the local breweries that use them. They get them by the pallet too from a distributor in Canada that also gets them from Germany. I have looked off and on for a couple of years and have not found a stateside supplier for homebrew quantities. I guess we will just have to buy lots of beer that comes in those bottles and save the empties.

or form a collective purchase agreement with the BN membership and order a pallet?

I have also been looking for a supply of them, I think our best bet is to get a local brewpub to order them for themselves and then sell you a couple of cases. Or maybe a big homebrew suppliers such as morebeer, NB, or WilliamsBrewing

I'm beating my head against a wall here. I'd be willing to buy 8 cases (12 bottles each). Anyone else want the other 90 cases from the pallet? Shipping would probably be $225-$250 (unofficial) for the pallet on top of the per case price listed:

If anyone's interested, please e-mail Andrew at Northern Brewer asking them to get a pallet. They may be willing to accommodate. That way I don't have to sit on 90 cases of bottles!

I've ordered the green punted champagne bottles from you before and they are awesome. I called to check if you have the same ones in brown/amber but the brown/amber have no punt. Unless you ordered a pallet since I made the original post here?
