I've been on a hunt to collect as many empty grolsch bottles for my brewing as i can, mostly from recycling places, picked up 27 so far in addition to the 21 i already had. Anyway, has anyone ever seen a brown grolsch bottle before? Its exactly the same as the green swingtops, except with brown glass, and the label says 'Amber Ale'. I didnt know grolsch made amber ale

I got 10 bottles from a garage sale some months back, and 2 of them are the brown variety!

The bottle design is not unique to Grolsch, only the bottles marked "Grolsch" are indeed those from the same brew house.

Although a number of regional variations to exist seasonaly in their native territories.

The paper label is still wrapped around the neck - its definitely a Grolsch. I've found two brews in brownn bottles on the dutch Grolsch website, but neither is an Amber Ale. One is the Premium Pilsener, the other is Noaber.

Yeah, they are definitely Grolsh. I bought some from my local bottlo about two years ago. Was going to use them for my yeast starters to distinguish ale from lager yeasts (brown and green bottles) but haven't seen them for a while.

Note the different products on the English version of their website- http://www.grolsch.com/
and the Dutch one- http://www.grolsch.nl/
The Dutch get 15, 30 & 50 litre kegs to wash their drugs down with.
