I tried, in the earlier days of blogging, to do some updates on the brewery and bar scene(s) in Sweden, but I found out it is beyond my capacity. The fact that there are several dozen beer bloggers in Sweden tells a lot.
A most useful site for anyone with an interest is BeerSweden, which does a splendid overview. In English, for those of you who have limited capabilities of figuring out Scandinavian lingo.
It’s very professional, with ads, videos and everything. But there is still a personal passion behind it, making it a blog and a good one at that.
Those prices on the board are outrageous!
Actually, those prices are fair for Scandinavia. In Norway prices are higher than this. I often have to pay nearly 10 Euros for a pint of draughted craft beer at my favourite pubs.
And Norwegians have still not overthrown the government?
Great picture but it is quite old. I have not seen Hopsan Ale in many years.
Yes, I need to get to Sweden more, not just these cross-border shopping trips!
Knut,
Just got back from the GBBF to see this post and therefore need to thank you for making my week-long hangover feel just that little bit better!
Hope we can meet up for a glass of something somewhere in Europe over the next few months (Stockholm’s festival perhaps?)
Cheers and Beers!
Darren
Darren,
I doubt there will be much travelling over the next few months, but you never know. It would be fun to meet up.
