A few minutes walk from Lemke there is another brewpub, which I believe is under the same management. This is even closer to the Alexanderplatz, located on the first floor of a shopping centre. I sat outside on the terrace, in the pub itself you have a sort of mock Bavarian bierstube concept, while it [...]

I’m through with Pan-European travelling for the time being, and I have a number of ideas lined up.
There are good news from Norway - three new beers from Inderøy Gårdsbryggeri released just now. They are selling out their beers faster than expected, and don’t need to work hard with the distribution with the batch sizes [...]

There are lots of new beers being brewed around Norway at the moment, and I’m talking about quality micro brews, not new versions of thin summer lagers or low carb mediocrity. But brewing good beers is one thing, getting it to the market is something else. The distribution system for all types of illegal intoxicating [...]

Norway being as it is, I have to go abroad for beer. Luckily there are several opportunities if you live in Oslo, and in the Summer season the ferries to Denmark are worth considering. If you have time and some money, you can take the Copenhagen ferry, if you want to do it more cheaply, [...]

Too hot for working. Too hot for sleeping. Too hot for blogging.
I had planned to write about the two Cuban beers I got from the Beer Nut. And the Hibernation Ale I got from Scott. But not today.
I need a beer. Now.

It is lucky for the Belgians that they have lots of famous beers. They seem to suffer from a shortage of famous people.
I’d rather have the former than the latter, but Norway does not have many claims to fame, either. Nansen, Amundsen, Heyerdahl, Quisling is about it.
And Jahn Teigen, perhaps.
But no beers as yet.

At last I got along to try the three beers from Inderøy Gårdsbryggeri I have written about over the last month or so. Anders in Trondheim had picked up some bottles for me, which I got last weekend, and yesterday I thought they had enough time for the sediments to settle.
I was not too exciting [...]

Like all other Norwegian town of some size, the local beer market in Bergen has been dominated by one brewery, in this case Hansa. They have generally moved with the crowd, sticking to the usual range of lagers with the pils as the dominating beer. They have in more recent years merged with Borg brewery in another [...]

Bergen is the gateway to the fjords and with plenty of scenery of its own, encircled by mountains and sea. I feel a bit worn out already at touchdown. The plane took off at 06:40. Which means the airport express train at 05:15. Which means the alarm going off at 04:30. The next time I [...]

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 [...]
