At least it used to be home. I moved to Oslo more than 20 years ago, but when I visit Trondheim and the surrounding region, especially just when everything is turning green, I get nostalgic.
But I am not getting into that today, I’d just like to inform you that the Inderøy Gårdsbryggeri has officially opened. I’ve mentioned their first three brews before, and they promise an English ESB and a stout in a month or so if you happen to pass by. Their beers are also available at a few restaurants and pubs in Levanger and Trondheim - and they have a licence to sell it directly to thirsty travellers too, albeit with limited opening hours.
I have managed to get hold of their first beers, which I’ll blog about as soon as I get around to a proper tasting. I tried two so far, and they were very nice.
Later in the year, Trondhjem Mikrobryggeri is celebrating its 10th anniversary. They plan to do that with a special hoppy brew, which should be available around the beginning of December.

The notes from my last stop in Bologna have been lying around - I never got around to typing them out. What I had hoped to be the highlight of my visit turned out to be quite a disappointment.
20 minutes walk from the touristy stuff, in a rather anonymous area, I reach my destination - the Bibo brewpub. It was easy to find - a big sign on the wall of a modern shopping and entertainment complex.
The beers were fine, with the porter from White Dog being especially fine. But I am curious. This was supposed to be a brew pub. One guest beer would be fine, but all four of them? The brewing vessels were clearly visible in the next room, but there were no visible displays of activity as there usually are.
