How to open a Grolsch swing-top cap the professional way.



I don’t have it any more but I had a very crappy job.
I opened bottles with the famous swing-top cap in the Grolsch brewery. I know it sounds like a joke but I ACTUALLY opened bottles all day. Up too 120 crates an hour. We used up about 8 pair of working gloves every day. I could snap a grown mans neck with one hand in those days. ;^)

Me and about 20 others opened crates with these bottles by hand that came back empty and had to be cleaned and refilled.

Here is the kicker:
Installing the machine that could do that would hinder the production 3 days. That machine had been sitting there for 3 years without work because they did not have that 3 day window yet.

The brewery has been blown up. A firework depot near it exploded and the new factory has been placed elsewhere.

Yeah life is stranger than fiction.
