Pubs that stock Grolsch will often let you have their bottles, for £4 per crate, which is a lot less than you would usually pay for empty bottles. They have a deal with Grolsch to return the bottles (and crates) for that amount, but apparently Grolsch is awful at picking up regularly, so most places have a case or two, or sometimes 10, hanging around that they just want rid of, and if you offer to pay their refund, they will gladly take it.
I find the bottles to be perfect for brewing (if you don't mind Green bottles), they're strong and attractive, and you won't get them cheaper than this!

I know only 1 place that sells them and they said they had to return them to the brewery, but I was trying to score them for free. I will try again armed with this knowledge. thanks Jan 9, 2014 at 11:40

I had more luck with small restaurants than pubs, actually. If you're in London, I can name some specific places.– RynoJan 9, 2014 at 16:27

I venture in quite often, anything along Stratford to Sidcup by car would be great. Jan 9, 2014 at 16:37
