Saffron beer

I have some friends that go to Iran once in a while to visit family. I’ve even asked them to bring me some non-alcoholic beer, which they did. I’ve not blogged about this, but I can reveal that it is not a beverage that will take the world by storm.
But the last time they went [...]
Three new Italians
Posted in Italy, beer, brewing, craft beer, tagged Birrificio Civale on September 25, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I’ve told you about the box of beers I ordered from Birraland and which arrived the other week. Fees and taxes made the beers rather expensive, so I was hoping the beers were worth the expense.
I was especially looking forward to three beers from a new Italian micro brewery. It is run by the same [...]
Arrival at last!

One box of beers shipped from Italy:
98 Euros including postage, about 875 Norwegian kroner.
Handling fee, presumably for the post office: 212 kroner
Value added tax: 153 kroner
Alcohol taxes: 95 kroner.
Slightly less than 40 kroner per bottle.
So, I have to pay 55% or so on top of the beer and postage from Italy. Or, to put it [...]
Sardinia – a restaurant and a mystery beer

My little black book of beer notes covering the summer months has disappeared, meaning that my last post about Sardinia is a bit shorter than planned.
I went to the historical centre of Alghero on my own one evening, looking for pubs and beer bars. There are a few nice places in the small streets and [...]
More from Sardinia

I promised you more, didn’t I?
We stayed in Alghero, which is on the Northwestern coast of the island. Touristy, sure, but the airport was not that busy, not much beyond Nordic charter flights and Ryanair, most of which seemed to be domestic Italian flights. It is very comfortable to land at a small airport, the [...]
All About Beer

I plan some posts on printed material about beer in the days to come. There is still some good stuff out there, even if much beer journalism has moved online.
I have had a subscription to All About Beer magazine for some months, and the September issue appeared in my mailbox the other day. I am impressed [...]

I promised a post about how to get beer while enjoying your holiday in the sun, didn’t I? Well then.
I will get back to reports on the general beer scene in Sardinia later in the week. There are some gems, easily overlooked by the pale lagers, but they are hard to find.
While looking at some [...]
