Malmoe, Sweden (and Stockholm)
« on: February 20, 2017, 10:24:36 pm »
Hi all,
I haven't posted for ages, but would like to provide some travelling advice for those of you who are heading to Sweden...

If going to Malmoe (in the south of Sweden), don't miss the nice brewery/brewpub Malmo Brewing Co & Taproom.
http://malmobrewing.com

Situated in an old industrial building in Moellevangen, it's a perfect place for an evening or two, with both swedish and danish craft brews on tap, as well as a good list of bottled beers.
Thomas Fransson who is the head brewer is a former homebrewer turned pro, and the place is very popular among the local beer afficionados.
I spent two evenings there after last year's Swedish Homebrew Championship and had a blast. (Unfortunately I had so much fun that I lost my old Stetson cap.. Alas, much grieved...).

And if visiting the swedish capital Stockholm, please don't miss Akkurat. (Just don't). Great place for swedish craft beer, Real Ale and sour beers from Belgium.

Best regards,
Klas
(Stockholm, Sweden)

Makes me want to head back to Sweden.  The last time I was there was on my honeymoon, which I am sad to say was in 1990.  The beer was awful.  I remember thinking that the most appropriately named beer in the world was Pripps Bla.  Blah was right.  :o

I did go to the liquor store and bought some Carnegie Porter.  That is now available here in Montana and is a world classic.  Glad to see there are now craft breweries in Sweden.  I have seen craft beers from Norway and Denmark here in the U.S., but none yet from Sweden.
