The Norwegian (Dutch-owned) supermarket chain ICA is going down the drain, with market shares, shops and money evaporating. Their local branch isn’t up to much, either, but there had been a minor revolution on their beer shelves while I was on holiday.
They now stock a range of beers from both Nøgne ø and Haandbryggeriet, including the new Bavaria weisse. Their imports used to be standard pale lagers, but they have now added Fuller’s London Pride and Discovery, Harviestoun’s Bitter and Twisted and a few others. The prices are outrageous, but we’ll just have to hope for a price war later on..
The photo was taken with my phone, more for documentation than for artistic merit, I have to say..

I think they’ve been stocking them for a while. I bought some beers from Nøgne Ø and Haandbryggeriet in April or something at my local ICA (Ullevål Stadion).
The Bavaria from Haandbryggeriet is new, as are the Fuller’s beers.
