Real Grolsch bottles are green, though; so if yours is green, be sure to keep it out of the light. Most of the bottles of my batches are generic, brown, 500 mL pop-tops, but they're spendy at $2.29/bottle. A couple 1.5 L or larger swing-top bottles per batch for dinner parties and the like would be awesome. I may have to see if the LHBS has any of these 2 L swing-tops: http://www.williamsbrewing.com/2_LITER_SWING_TOP_JUGS_-_6_Ac_P1941C49.cfm They're actually the same price per volume as the 500 mL bottles ($9.15/bottle).
