Traditional bottles subsequently became known as "long necks" or "tallies" to distinguish them from stubbies. Long neck beer bottles are a classic packaging format, characterised by their elongated necks.

This design, initially functional for providing a grip and reducing heat transfer, has become an iconic shape in the beer industry. Long neck bottles are used across a wide range of beer styles, from pale lagers and pilsners to ales, stouts, and IPAs.
