European Breweries History: Grolsch Brewery
In the seventeenth century (Holland's Golden Age, when its Guilds became
influential), the professional brewer was highly esteemed. A famous Dutch Master
Brewer named Peter Cuyper of Grolle (present day Groenlo), was the first recorded
owner of the famous Grolsch brewery, founded in 1615. In 1677, Cuyper was appointed
Guild Master of all brewers in Grolle. He introduced his fellow-brewers to the best
brewing methods and handed down his secrets of brewing great beer to the younger
generations. Peter Cuyper was responsible for refining the natural method of beer
brewing.
Around the world, the beautiful Grolsch Swingtop bottle has been our
most distinctive trademark for over a century. The unique green embossed bottle,
with it's re-sealable white swingtop stopper, is a glassblower’s masterpiece and
recognized worldwide as a true Grolsch icon.
