Beer Bottle Orchestras

Grolsch Assembles the Swingtop Philharmonic Orchestra

Grolsch has assembled a Christmas-carol-playing beer bottle orchestra to deliver a little festive cheer this year.

The musical troupe feature in a video recital of the festive favourite 'Oh, Christmas Tree', played exclusively on Grolsch Swingtop bottles.

Best known for the 'pop' sound they make when opening, the bottles have been customized to provide the song with percussion, woodwind and drums to beautiful effect. The musicians even play a giant Christmas tree made of Grolsch Swingtop bottles.

Imagine getting one of those on Christmas Day!
