We never thought we would see the day when you could by canned gueuze. The purist in us shudders at the thought. How could our sacred beer become something in a can? The practical side rejoices that we can grab and go with cans of gueuze for a warm summer day in the park. No heavy bottles to carry around. Tilquin Petite Gueuze is a 4% ABV drink on the go gueuze. It's light, refreshing and gives you a quick lambic hit when you need it. On the other hand we have Dry Dock Pumpkin Spice Bligh's Barleywine. This is a strong 13% ABV surprisingly good pumpkin spice beer. We aren't huge fans of anything pumpkin spiced. It was surprising to find such a treat. We think the Heaven Hill barrel aging gave it the edge. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #gueuze #pumpkinspice #barleywine
It's Easter! That means Easter Beers! We have a stellar lineup this year with lots of tasty treats. Not a single brown ale to be found this year. Instead we have dark lagers, extra special bitters, porters, hazy IPAs and Belgian strong dark ale. All of them would be great for your Easter table. This year we're reviewing Dugges Perfa Påsk, Poppels 2026 Easter Ale, Omnipollo Easter Egg, Brygghus 19 Easter Bunny IPA and Vreta Kloster Bryggeri Vetra Klosters Påsköl 2026. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #darklager #esb #porter #nipa #belgianstrongale
We visited Åhus Restaurang here in Malmö a few weeks back. Sadly, it closed at the end of February. We debated on posting this but since Åhus Bryggeri is still going strong, we wanted to feature their beers. We hope you enjoyed St. Patrick's Day and a pint or two. Bosse Dry Stout is an Irish dry stout coming in at 4.2% ABV. It's just in line with what you would expect from the style. Next up is Charley Barley an English barleywine at 13% ABV. This was a really pleasant treat. Lightly hopped with a nice caramel tone. While we'll miss Åhus Bryggeri & Restaurang, we'll still be able to enjoy their beers. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #irishstout #barleywine
Stefan made a little trip down to Barcelona to check out the beer scene. He found a lot of great places to try. Of course, he brought back beers to drink with Martin. GatBrewing is just getting started and they are off to a good start. Hopstronaut Nectaron aka. HOPSTRONAUT and the Wrath of Doctor NECTARON is a tropical NEIPA with nectaron and riwaka hops. DosKiwis has been around for a bit longer.  Big Think is also a NEIPA but made with citra cryo, riwaka, nelson sauvin and motueka hops. It's two juicy, tropic beers this episode and we couldn't be happier.  #beer #craftbeer #drinks #neipa
We finally made it to one of Malmö's oldest drinking establisments. Bullen was founded in 1897 and has continued to sling beer and simple dishes. Over the years it's evolved into a Malmö mainstay. We've been going for years. It never fails to provide a good time. They specialize in importing beers from Czech Monastery Zeliv. Based on their website, they are the only bar in the world where you can get these beers on tap. We start out with Poutovy Special Jirikovo Videni a 5% ABV Polish grodziskie. We never see these anywhere so of course we had to try it. Falco 14 is a 5.5% ABV dark larger. It's light, roasty and always a treat. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #grodziskie #darklager
We're back with another episode of local Swedish breweries. We have been featuring Smedsbo Slott quite a few times over the past couple of moths. It's always a wild ride. Like all their beers they include no information other than the name, ABV and style. Xocolatl is a 14.5% ABV pastry stout. We'll leave it at that. Benchwarmers teamed up with Amundsen Brewery to create Coconut Fjord. This is an 8% ABV stout made with cocoa nibs, muscovado sugar and coconut. It give Bounty.  #beer #craftbeer #drinks #pastystout #stout
We're going a little more local this episode with a couple of Swedish breweries you might not have heard of before. Shapes and Objects is from Karlstad. They've been around for a couple of years and are just getting started. Sun Trip DDH Hazy IPA is a collab with Spanish brewers Malandar. Coming in at 6.2%, this IPA is filled with citra, mosiac, nelson sauvin and manalita hops. Malmö based Perfectly Squared has been expanding across the city more and more. Strawblime is a collab with Bottenvikens from Luleå in far North Sweden. This is a 4.5% ABV sour beer that's going for a strawberry daquiri experience. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #sour #ipa
Malmo Taproom had a tap takeover with Saez and Son from the Valenciana region of Spain. They had lots to try from TIPA to Pastry sours. It was tough to pick so we went with the two more interesting beers. Twisted Mary is a tomato gose that tastes more like vegetable or tomato juice than beer. Produced by their side project LOKO*, this beer will be really devisive. If you don't like tomato juice, you'll want to give it a pass. Palm Beach is a 6% ABV pastry sour with mango, platano and coconut milk. This is a rich delicous brew that you want to keep drinking.  #beer #craftbeer #drinks #gose #pastrysour
As you know we love gueuze. It might be our favorite style. We don't get to review them very often but this episode we have two of them. Both of these are special editions. Oud Beersel Oude Geuze Vieille - Barrel Select Foeder 21 is from 2022. Aged on white wine barrels, this geuze was blended with two other lambics also aged on white wine barrels. Boon Mariage Parfait 10 Golden Anniversary Edition is a 10% ABV geuze released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Boon.  #beer #craftbeer #drinks #gueuze #geuze #lambic
It's cold, dark days in Sweden so we need dark beers to keep us warm. Alesong has released a special edition of Rhino Suit. Rhino Suit - Swedish Edition is an 11% ABV double milk imperial stout. Made special for Sweden, this milk stout is a Heaven Hill bourbon-barrel-aged beer. It makes us feel special. It's not often we get double milk stouts at Systembolaget. When we saw Surly 13, a 12.5% ABV  maple barrel-aged double milk imperial stout, we knew we had a great combo. Sadly, it wasn't specially brewed for Sweden. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #barrel-aged #imperialstout #milkstout
Omnipollo continues their ongoing series where they take a bunch of different breweries and come up with a beer. Then each brewery brews their version of that beer. It's a fun way to see how you can take the same beer and it's slightly interepreted by differently. It makes brewing feel more like jazz. Three Times Three Vol 7 is an 8% DIPA with yummy tropical notes. Spanish brewer Soma has been making some great IPA's recently. Mantra is a 6% IPA made with krush, citra and kohatu hops. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #dipa #ipa
We love a birthday and Neon Raptor is celebrating their 9th birthday. They released a trio of beers as part of the celebration. We got our hands on two of them. Ninth BIrthday Sour is a based on the Brititsh classic Victoria Sponge. This pastry sour is filled with strawberries, raspberries, vanilla and sponge cake. It wouldn't be a birthday without an imperial stout. Ninth Birthday Impy is an imperial stout filled with chocolate, hazelnuts and caramel biscuits.  #beer #craftbeer #drinks #imperialstout #pastrystout #pastrysour

Dry January - ep721

We had to take a break after last weeks high ABV bonanza. We needed to take things down a few notches. We're doing Dry January...for this episode at least. We've got the non-alcoholic beers from Omnipollo, Mikkeller and Sierra Nevada. The world of non-alcoholic beers has really changed. Gone are the days of lame flavorless pilsners and lagers. Breweries are really upping their game going for it. We got stouts, sours and IPAs. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #dryjanuary #stout #sourbeer #ipa #non-alcoholic
We hope your hangover isn't too bad. It's 2026 and we are cracking open a couple of bottles to kick the year off right. We've featured Smedsbo Slott quite a lot recently but that doesn't mean we don't want to keep trying their beers. Elektra Sauer Kveik is one of their highest ABV beers. Clocking in at 22% ABV, this sour ale uses wild fermented Kveik and a Belgian Quad grain bill.  Omnipollo and Trillium Brewing team up again to give us Kanelbullar. This pastry stout is filled with cinnamon, cassia bark, vanilla, coconut and cardamom. They went full Swede on this. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #imperialstout #pastrystout #sourbeer
It's the last episode of the year. 2025 was a great year for trying beers. We hope you enjoyed the year as much as we did. We cap off the year with two really fun beers. 3 Fonteinen Oude Gueuze Season 17/18 Blend no 61 isn't just any old 3F Oude Gueuze. It's a special release that was basically only released in Sweden. There is a great story behind.  The Bruery Barrel-Aged Three's Cocompany is a bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout with coconut, vanilla beans, milk sugar and oat milk. It's definetly a dessert in a glass. Have a Happy New Year! See you in 2026. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #gueuze #imperialstout
It's the last day of our Advent 2025 calendar. We really hope you enjoyed this years selection. We had a lot of fun drinking everything. Day 24 ends things on a real high note. Pohjala makes a return to the calendar with Faraway Friends (Cellar Series). This 13.4% ABV imperial stout is a collab with Lervig. It's uses a Colossal rey whisky barrel with vanilla pods and coconut sugar. It's an amazingly tasty treat. Have a great holidays everyone!  #beer #craftbeer #drinks #advent2025 #imperialstout
We are almost done. After a couple of dusty oldies, we have something from a pretty new brewery. Day 23 gives us some eXcitement with X-Brewing. The Dutch brewery released an imperial coconut cereal pastry stout aged on Wild Turkey bourbon barrels. Project X #01 is a 12.7% ABV beer that somehow really works despite the weird concoction.  #beer #drinks #craftbeer #advent2025 #imperialstout
Day 22 is an old money beer from 2008. Djaevlebryg Old Mephisto Batch 1 is from 2008. This English barleywine clocks in at 10.5%. This really should have been toothpaste at this point. Somehow it's still holding in there. They really knew how to make beers last back in the day. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #advent2025 #barleywine
Day 21 brings another blast from the past...the very distant past. Many, many years ago there was an amazing brewery called Stronzo. They were a defunct brewery when we started 10 years ago. Even though Stronzo went away more than a decade ago, you can still find their beers around. Anniversary #2 celebrates their second anniversary. This bourbon barrel aged Russian imperial stout has past its prime but still has some life in her. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #advent2025 #imperialstout
Advent Day 20 closes out the last full week of Advent. Just four days left, I hope you're ready. P.i.g.s. Brew Co. Deadspace Opera is a collab with Emperor's Brewery. This 14% AVB imperial stout has peanut butter, toffee caramel and Madagascar vanilla. It's really a dessert in a can. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #advent2025 #imperialstout
