Small bottles for a strong ale

I'm planning on brewing a strong Belgian style ale but don't want to bottle it in my usual 500ml or pint bottles as they are just too big for that strength of beer.

Any ideas for a good source of suitable bottles? Chimay, Duvel, Rochefort... those type of bottles. I was thinking of giving some pubs a call that stock these like Bull and Castle, Porterhouse etc. to see if they'll give me their empties.

I'm in the north Wicklow/Dublin area and will be brewing about 20 litres. Thanks.

Going to be tedious filling them all but hopefully worth it after a few months of bottle conditioning!

I can get you as many as you want in the B&C. what day do you want to collect?

Thanks that would be great. John (ciderhead) PM'd you about picking up some other bottles so he should be able to pick up mine too at the same time. Many thanks.
