Brown Grolsch bottles?

A relative gave me several brown swing-top grolsch bottles that say Grolsch Holland Florida on the caramic top. Has anyone ever seen these? I've never seen Grolsch in anything but green. Just curious...

I have a couple of brown ones, and you have one (not 2 right?) of my green ones. Keep it!

I have two of your green swing tops. More than willing to fill and return them.

I've got a case (12 in this case) of the browns that a friend very agreeably brought back from Holland. I've only seen the greens in the States for a long time.

My LHBS Daves Homebrew sells them.

I just may be back in Jersey around 26 Jan for 2 nights. I'll let you know.

Want me to bring something? I have a Extra Special Bitter and a Hefe that you might like. Come to think of it, I don't remember what you preferred.

I should be bottling a Peach Med (melomel). The gravity is at 0.998. I don't expect it to go any lower (HAHAHA!!!). I could bring a couple of bottles....maybe for your....wedding?! When's that scheduled?

As far as I know, I have to be in El Paso, TX around 6 Feb for 2 weeks.

2 cases of empty brown grolsch bottles wound up in the back of my truck at work one day. Never found out who put them there. Is there really a beer god?

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!

Congrats!

HB--if we get to meet up again, I'll be sure to bring some this time! Same area or down near Jill's area?

Haven't seen the Brown bottles for about 10 years in BC.

I think there are Beer Angels. It's the only way to explain how beer comes out so good even when you think you (on occassion) screwed something up big time! Plus would also explain why my beer never seems to last as long as I thought it should. Must be the Beer Angels drinking their share of my beer. At least, that would explain why there are more empties than I thought I had drank.

For a case of fliptops I could be.

Have the smilies always been this colorful or have I dried out?

I knew you were easy, but not that easy!

Brown or green?

It would need to be the browns in this case.

HB--I think she's in south jersey somewhere.

Wow BeeGee, sounds like those fliptops are worth a lot to you!

Oh, that Jill. I forgot all about her. Sorry Jill.

She lives in Cherry Hill (not far from Philly). I have a couple cousins in Cherry Hill and a couple more within a 10 mile radius.
