Street artists work on a large-scale mural made from 400 Grolsch swing-top bottles arranged to form a giant bottle shape on a Shoreditch wall

Street art collective, Graffiti Life, took on the challenge to mark Grolsch’s 400th anniversary, creating a giant tribute to the beer’s iconic swing top bottle in Shoreditch, London, using Grolsch bottles and a variety of street art techniques, from spray painting to yarn bombing and guerilla gardening.

Grolsch has been inspiring originality since 1615, with its iconic swing top bottle and brewing excellence standing the test of time. The collaboration with Graffiti Life brings the brand’s heritage to life and is part of a global anniversary campaign, which also features limited edition art packs of Grolsch.
