Does anyone know if they are the flip top bottles or if they are normal capped ones?

Normal capped...

Anybody have problems opening these ?
Seems to me , at least 2 in every case the top comes of the bottle comes off as well as the cap. Then I'm left wondering did any of the glass fall back into the bottle....

maybe i don't know my own strength.

Picked up 2 boxes of Grolsh (feb 28th exp. Date) 2 weeks ago in Dunnes. Don’t know if it’s just my batch, but there’s quite a lot of sediment in them – maybe that’s also why they’re so cheap? You don’t notice it so much if the bottle is left standing up in the fridge, but if you leave them on their side for an hour or so you will see it collect on the side of the bottle. Only a small issue, as it’s no harm and perfectly safe (I remember sediment well from my studenty home brew days) it just looks a bit dodgy. As I say, maybe it was just my batch. Didn’t stop me from drinking them!

this was happening me before, almost complained to the company, then copped... its the bottle opener ur using, and the tightly sealed caps, ur literally pulling the top off the bottle by catchin under the glass instead of the cap.

probably too eager for the golden nectar inside....

Got it 2 weeks ago and I never noticed any sediment, bloody nice drink too, shame I can't find the deal any more, or Grolsch for that matter.

Got a case of that Grolsh today in the Dunnes in Blanchardstown
Its out of date on Feb 28 but tastes good now !!
50c a bottle, its a sin to leave it there

These back out on the shelves again anywhere folks?

- If they were the swing-tops I'd be tempted to hand in my notice.......
