Temple of a Million Beer Bottles

[Aggie]

Can we have one for the Monastery?

That is beautiful-really beautiful.

Yes I believe we have room for one.

[Aggie]

OK, get drinking....

Consistency of materials is important. You'd better buy all the beer.

We need some variety in the caps, for the murals. Be a bit plain, otherwise.

Beautiful.

If the bottles are used as glass bricks the light inside must be pretty spectacular on a sunny day.

And I'll be happy to help empting the bottles I've been having beer cravings for the last week now...
Once in a month thing, I'm low on vitamin B I guess

I've got this large pile of Cascade Premium empties I could donate to the cause...

I found more pics of the temple:

I wonder how good are bottles as an insulator.

[Griffin NoName]

Do they give refunds on empties?

[Opsa]

That monk certainly looks like he has a hangover. I love the temple.

There's apparently been several bottle buildings built over the years. I remember seeing one in The House Book years ago. Very hippie-esque.

There's also this one, which was built in the 1940's.

Not as pretty as the bottles, but pretty practical for a place where the sun coming through the glass could take the hide off a rhino.

Wouldn't it be terrible to finish the thing then realize you'd accidentally walled in a full bottle somewhere?

Gar! Men! It'd be fabuloso. You'd always know there was a spare in a crisis. Doh!

If there were a way to empty the bottle completely... otherwise it sounds fantastic, a wine wall!
