There is some healthy competition here in Oslo now. I’ve stated recently that Italy is the new California when it comes to beer. We’re not quite there, but we can soon say that Oslo is the new, well, Gothenburg.
I’m off to meet a friend at Olympen this evening. Their beer list has exploded over the last six months, the latest arrivals due to them starting importing their own.
The most interesting parts of their beer list right now:

You are killing me. Freely available in Norway (or rather at a price) but largely prohibited in Ontario. Have a Jolly pumpkin Bam for starters.
I feel perfectly happy about having made a dinner reservation here tonight.
Feel less happy about moving away from the neighbourhood, but such is life.
I visited Olympen a couple of weeks ago, really a lovely place. Prices were high but not extreme.
