Empty Swing Tops, Grolsch

[Dogger Dan]

I think I just hit the Mother Load.

Went to the local brewery for something to do.

For those not familiar with the way things work here in Ontario, we put deposit on all our bottles to encourage people to return. Works well, get 98 percent return on bottles and the brown standards are reused.

It turns out they don't reuse the Grolsch bottles, they go to crush which means 1 time use and off to recyclers. Having wandered down with a Growler Grolsch filled with homebrew for the brewmaster, they asked if I used Grolsch bottles as a rule of thumb. I said yes but they were hard to get.

"Well how many do you need, we have lots going out you can have them".

"Well thank you" said I, "I will take one or two"

"What?" said he, "You can fit one or two pallets in the back of your van?"

I walked away with 100 500 ml Grolsch and two empty 54 litre kegs and a couple of yeasts and an invite to come back any time and get more.

All for the price of 1.5 litres of Doggers Finest.

Some days you just win
