Ah yes, recall filling the boot of the (tax free) car up with crates of this to give to folks back home as Xmas presents (wasn't easily available in UK then) and leave them to get the deposit back. As I recall they were 40p a bottle in the NAAFI and most off licences in the UK gave you 50p deposit for an empty! Mind you I do recall drinking with a Dutch guy once who said that Grolsch to them was "...the same as your Watney's Red Barrel", i.e. throwing beer!
