Grolsch is one of the world’s oldest beer brands, with a heritage dating back to 1615. We’ve built our heritage from the habit of doing things differently. Grolsch’ taste and aroma was born out of unconventional thinking. Four centuries ago, brew master Peter Kuijper decided to use two different types of hops, an approach unheard of at the time. In the late 19th century, Theo de Groen believed his beer was special and needed a special bottle: The Swingtop was born in 1897. At Grolsch we’ve always followed our own path. That journey has taken us around the globe. Today you can enjoy Grolsch in over 60 countries.
