Had a bottle of Innis & Gunn bitter the other day. Best beer I've had in a long time. Recommended!

Was it from Systembolaget?

Innis & Gunn Limited Edition 2005

I like the limited edition one more, the taste is a lot more balanced. But the original is very special also.

I went through 12 bottles of becks followed by 6 bottles of Konig Pilsner then rounded off with 6 bottles of Flensburger Pilsner. This happened on Saturday and as you can imagine I was hungover to fuck on Sunday

:D

Having one of my home brewed beers, from batch 28.

Very nice this one, even though I used way to much of some malt sorts, and way to much hops.

Wokred well :)

The regular one, haven't seen the lim.ed. around. Sounds like it could be worth tracking down a few bottles, though.

I ordered it when I saw it was coming as a temporary thing, well worth it.
Specially when they don't charge extra for getting them to a store of your choice ;)

Just got my 8 last beers home, not drinking any of them right now though ;)

1) Super Bock - Portugal, can of 50 cl at 5.6%. Not really a Bock style beer at all, but as far as I know I've never tried a beer from Portugal, so here goes. It's not been for sale for a while though, they're gonna stop selling it. I managed to get a can that's been hiding in a store, so best before date was March of 2005...

2) Karlovacko - Croatia, bottle of 0.50 l at 5.4%. I'm not getting my hopes up on this one, but I've been (pleasantly) surprised by eastern european beers before.

3) Samuel Adams Octoberfest - USA, bottle of 355 ml at 5.2%. One of the few Samuel Adams available in Sweden that I haven't tried yet.

4) Pater Lieuven Tripel - Belgium, bottle of 33 cl at 8%. I'm pretty damn sure I'll like that one.

5) Kriek Girardin 1882 - Belgium, bottle of 37.5 cl at 5%. I love some Kriek, and don't care so much for some, we'll see.

6) Hanssens Artisanaal Oude Gueuze - Belgium, bottle of 37.5 cl at 6%. Haven't tried that many Oude Gueuze before, still learning a lot about Lambic and Gueuze.

7) 3 fonteinen Oude Kriek - Belgium, bottle of 37.5 cl at 5%. See comments from number 5.

8) 3 fonteinen Oude Gueuze - Belgium, bottle of 37.5 cl at 6%. See comments from number 6.


It'll be an interesting test period :)

Having the Portugeese one now, and I was indeed very pleasantly surprised.
For a lager from a "warm" country it has a great smell and taste to it.

How is it that you can find all these Belgian beers over there, and I can't even find all of them over here!? :confused:

The big (only?) advantage of having a state monopoly of selling alcohol is that they want and have to arrange a large assortment to please most people.

I like it a lot because I get to try so many different beers from all over the world :)

Well, then I have one questioh. Do they sell Westvleteren there as well? 'Cause the only place here where I can buy them (apart from a cafe in Geel, but it's way too expensive) is in Westvleteren itself.

BTW, Westvleteren is a trappist beer. One of the six in the whole world. (Westmalle, Rochefort, Orval, Chimey and Achel, although I thought that La Trappe from the Netherlands was a trappist as well)

No, they don't sell Westvleteren in Systembolaget.
They do sell Westmalle, Orval and Chimay in the regular assortment.
Rochefort and Achel is available for order.

They have Westvleteren at several pubs here, but you pay at least 13€ for a bottle.
I have tried the Westvleteren 12, paid 16€ for it :p

Also I've tried Westmalle dubbel and tripel, Rochefort 8 and 10, Orval, Chimay white, red and blue, and Achel blond and bruin.

Today I saw a "Chimay black" that supposedly is what the monks at Chimay brew for themself. They wanted about 23€ for it though, so I didnät buy it...

Delirium Tremels from the Huyge brewery in Melle (near Ghent)

It's a white bottle, so the color is not shown in a bottle. But it's a strong beer with a very nice taste. The alcohol% is 8.5 VOL, so it's concidered a strong beer. (No, you're no longer allowed to drive in the Netherlands after a Tremels, as the % is brought down to 0.2 promille. (or it is stil into consideration by the Harry Potter clan)
