Volfas Engelman - 100% Cryo Hops IPA, Funky Lambic, Fig Stout Twist - ep693
The final episode before we start our holiday beer festivities. A friend of Martin's gave us three beers from Lithuanian. Volfas Engelman has over 340 beers listed on Untapped. This is part of their Alaus Laiskai or Beer Letters series. We got to try 100% Cryo Hops IPA, a 5.7% AVB IPA. Next up is Funky Lambic, a 5.5% AVB sour lambic style beer. Finally, we get Fig Stout Twist, a 4.6% ABV style stout. They call it a "special technology beer with fig flavor." It's a trip to a country that doesn't export beers. We were really happy to get to try them.

Omnipollo Practice the Art of Connection - Pohjala Evening Colours - ep692
We're heading into the holiday season. This means we're excited to start our advent calendar but we can't start yet. To fill the time we drank some beers. Omnipollo Practice the Art of Connection is a collab with DIPA experts Verdant. This 8% ABV DIPA is made at their church brewery in Sundbyberg, Sweden. Pohjala Evening Colours is part of the Cellar Series. This barrel-aged imperial Baltic porter is aged in Tawny Port casks for 22 months. Worth a try but it depends on how you enjoy port aged beers. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #dipa #imperialstout

Rodenbach Evolved Caractere - Fidens Blending Dreams - ep691
We're feeling a little fruity this episode. We need more fruited beers. Rodenbach has always been a solid, dependable brewery cranking out Flemmish red ales for a long time. Recently they have started experimenting more. Evolved Caractere is a raspberry and mango sour beer that's somehow light on all of those things. At 7.2% ABV, we want stronger flavours. We had Fidens a couple of episodes ago. It was a peach IPA. Now we're getting a full fruid bomb. Fidens Blending Dreams is a series of fruit forward beers. We got the orange, lime and pineapple version. It's an explosion...

Brauhaus Riegele Weizen Doppelbock Augustus - Koningshoeven La Trappe Quadrupel - ep690
Fall has arrived and just in time for Halloween we found some scary fun beers. Brauhaus Riegele Weizen Doppelbock Augustus is a classic German style that you don't find very often. A weizen doppelbock is a top-fermented beer with a fuity, roasty taste. We will never say no to a traditional German style. Koningshoeven La Trappe Quadrupel is a Belgian Quadrupel from the people that know how to make this style. It's nutty, fruity with hints of vanilla cloves. At 10% ABV, you can't really have more than one but you'll really enjoy the one you have. #beer #c...

Fidens Jasper with Peach - Brujos TDH San Nosferatu - ep689
We have a couple of heavy hitters today. Fidens and Brujos are two of the top hazy beer creators in the US. If you get lucky enough to try their beers, don't pass up on the chance. We certainly didn't. Fidens Jasper with Peach is their classic Jasper NEIPA make with citra hops, but they added peaches. It's a fun mix of peaches and IPA. Brujos TDH San Nosferatu is a triple dry-hopped NEIPA. They went crazy with the hops on this one. Citra, Nelson Sauvin, Maui Nelson, Nelson Hyperboost and Citra Cryo all went into this beer. It...

Martin also went to Poland this year. He went to Wrocław. It's just Northwest of Krakow. While he was there he tried many many many many many many beers. He also found a couple to bring back with him. First is from Inne Beczki. Martin thought Miami would be a sour beer. Instead it's a pale lager or as they call it, an American lager. We follow that up with Browar Amber Woodside. This an imperial porter with an ABV of 10.5%. Both were quite a lot of fun to try and we look forward to more beers from P...

Tiny Hill Merrimack - Baghaven Art Decadence Blend 1 - ep687
We're keeping the Danish theme alive this week with a new brewery and a closed brewery. Tiny Hill in Copenhagen just has 4 beers listed on UnTapped. Merrimack is one of their first beers. It's a 5.5% ABV hazy IPA. Björn drops some serious Civil War knowledge on us about the Merrimack and its ties to Sweden. Baghaven was one of our favorite brewery and probably the last best thing Mikkeller has done. Sadly, it is no more but their wild ales are here to remind us of better times.

10 Year Anniversary - ep 685
10 Year is a long time. We can hardly believe it ourselves. To celebrate we brought together Björn and Martin to go head to head in our toughest Game of Beers yet! Five rounds, winner takes all for the ultimate bragging glory. Who knows their beer trivia? Who can pick the right lager? It was a very close race but only one could survive. We want to thank everyone that has participated on the show all these years! We have a lot more to go. #beer #craftbeer #drinks

Malmo Mead and Cocktail - Ask Staff IPA, Tropical Blueberry, Exclusive Peach
We've talked about Malmö Taproom many times but did you know they have a second bar (some would say hidden) bar? Just behind Malmö Taproom is Malmo Mead and Cocktail Bar. It's a small room with lots of meads, cocktails and craft beer. We tried the cleverly titled Ask Staff IPA. This is a solid IPA that wasn't on the Taproom menu. We followed that up with a couple of meads, Tropical Blueberry and Exclusive Peach. These are part of the new trend of meads of being bright, fruity and not honey syrup.

Gaststatte kolsch - Muhlen kolsch - ep683
If you're a bar and you're only going to serve one beer, it better be a good one. In Malmö, we have a series of Czech inspired bars that only serve the same beer. Now, we have a kolsch style bar. Based on the German concept, Gaststatte kolsch has one beer, Muhlen kolsch. It's only served one size, 20cl. They will keep bringing you glasses as long as you don't tell them to. It's a great experience and highly recommended if you're in town. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #kolsch #germanbeer

Traquair 900 07 - Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout 06 - ep682
Summe is over and the fall is fast approaching. To celebrate Martin dusted off some forgotten beers from his cellar to remind us that somethings don't need to be saved forever. Traquair 900 (2007) is an English barleywine. Barleywines are great to age...for a little while. After awhile it comes oddly minty. Not sure why it does but it's an instant clue your barleywine has past it's prime. Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout used to a sought after stout, back in 2006. Nine years later, it's not as trendy or hyped and shouldn't be aged this long. Cardboard and lifeless, if you're...

As the summer starts to wind down, we still want to take a moment to apprecaite the sun and fun. What better way then with two light, refreshing sour beers. Drottningholms Sur blends blueberries, black currants and honey for a heavy hitting 7% AVB sour. Flying Guru Hrym is a farmhouse ale aged for 14 months and 8 months on riesling grapes before being dry-hopped with Nelson Sauvin. Also at 7% ABV, it's summertime in a glass. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #sourbeer #farmhouseale

Drowned Lands - Fern - Black Gold - ep680
We got to try a double shot of Drowned Lands. It's a new brewery from the US for us. Fern is a 6.5% ABV NEIPA. Made with lots of wheat and oats and hopped with strata and citra, it's a juicy little number. With a name like Fern you would think it would be more earthy. Black Gold Coffee is a straight down the middle bourbon barrel aged imperial stout with coffee. With a 10.5% ABV, it's a solid stout with not a lot of bells and whistles. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #neipa #imperialstout

They crank out a lot of them. Stefan picked up Plum and Cherry Jam Gingerbread. Swedes love these flavors so it's only natural that we should have this beer on the show. At 5.5% AVB you can expect lots of flavor and excitement from the Gelato series (individual experiences may vary). Browar Kingpin is a new brewery for us.

First is a collab with Smedsbo Slott called Karamellstout. This is a 12% ABV imperial stout that uses Palo Santo (listen to find out what that is) and vanilla. It's an interesting blend that really works well together. Up next is a collab with Polish brewers extrodinare, Funky Fluid.

Summer sours are the best kind of sours. Martin reached into his cellar and brought out a couple of treats for us to try. Originally released in 2019, Speciation Extropian is a wild ale with peaches, cinnamon and vanilla. It was part of the Mikkeller Beer Club, back when that was a thing. We follow it with Side Project Blueberry Flanders (Blend #2). This is a Flanders style red ale aged in Missouri oad red wine barrels with Missouri blueberries. Sadly, not a single Missourian was present for the tasting. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #sourale #wildale

Even though it's bright and sunny, we still like to keep it dark. First up we're treated to a collaboration between great breweries. Stigbergets teamed up with The Kernel to create a traditional English porter. Taking inspiration from an 1800's London Porter recipe, Victorian Porter is a roasted delight. We follow that up with a big imperial stout from Nogne. Also inspired by Victorian times, Ship-Shape and Briston Fashion is a reference to the condition of the ship.

Cierny Kamen - Riwaka Time & Nexthopoit - ep650
Slovakia is a beautiful country with a rich history. There is so much to see and do while you're there. While you'll find a lot of traditional breweries serving lagers and old world styles, the new beer scene is still in it's nacient days. Cierny Kamen is raising the craft beer game. We got to try two of their beers: Riwaka Time and Nexthopoit. Riwaka Time is a 5%ABV NEIPA made with...you guessed it...Riwaka hops.

Bierschmiede Werkstruk Marzen - Schlenkerla Erle ep649
Stefan did some travelling over the holidays. He made it to Vienna, and of course, he picked up some beers. While you can find lots of great beers in Austria, you can't find a lot of craft beer. Fear not, he was able to find an incredible marzen from Bierschmiede. Werkstruk is a 5.2% ABV marzen that makes us sad we can't drink it all year round. We jump into the Bavarian region with one of our favorite breweries Schlenkerla. Their smoked beers are always a treat. Erle is a schwarzbier. A smoked black lager is just what we need!

We don't normally go to the same place in the same year, let alone in the same summer. Something special happened and we couldn't pass up the opportunity to review a beer. 3 Fonteinen has decided to finally release their beers on tap. You know we love 3F beers and getting it by the glass is a huge bonus. Mikkeller Moriskan somehow got kegs. Might be the first in Sweden. Certainlly the first in the region. 3 Fonteinen Oude Kriekenlambik is full of sour cherries which gives it a tart cherry juice flavor. It's incredible. If you missed this and love g...

Gamle Nobes - Spaten Premiere Lager Gamla Nobes Bodega Nobes - ep605
We talked about going to some local dive bars in Malmö for a few years. We just happened to be in the neighborhood and stopped by one of the classic dive bars in Malmö. Gamle Nobes has been around for a long time and my how the times have changed. A few years ago it was the only place in Malmö that had indoor smoking. It was rundown and the patrons gave you a weird look if they didn't know you. Gentrification has come for this landmark location. It's still trapped in a 70's wonderland of design but the tap...

Hill farmstead Anna with Motueka - Wilde Leeuw Saison Brett Rhubarabe - ep604
Double saison episode in the middle of summer? Yes please! We love saison beers. They hit even better during the summer. Light, funky and super easy to drink, saison is a perfect summer beer. Hill farmstead Anna with Motueka is a farmhouse ale made with wildflower honey and dry-hopped with Motueka. We follow that up with a saison from France. Wilde Leeuw and Brasserie La Malpolon teamed up to create Saison Brett Rhubarabe. Northern France grows lots of rhubarb. Naturally it fits perfectly with a saison. Why aren't there more rhubarb saisons on the market? #beer #craftbeer #d...

Ramen 2 Birru - Apex Havoc Apparatus Fuerst Wiacek Yield Brewski Grandmother Gose
Keeping the summer going, we head out to Ramen 2 Birru. Mikkeller's ramen joint makes great ramen. We've been eating here for a few years. There are two locations in Malmö. We are at the Möllanvängstorget location. We didn't try the ramen this time but feasted on beers instead. Apex is an IPA focused Swedish brewery that's been upping the game for a few years. Havoc Apparatus IPA is a 6.5% NEIPA. Sadly they don't mention the hops so mysteries abound. Fuerst Wiacek Yield is a companion beer to the APEX IPA. This IPA comes in at 5.5% ABV and is...

Frukstereo Österlen 2020 - Metaphore Qvevri - ep602
We're keeping it light and funky this summer and nothing brings out the fun like a cider and a lambic. Frukstereo Österlen 2020 is a dry cider made with apples from Sweden apple Mecca Österlen. It's a great location on Sweden's east coast with some of our best beaches. Dry and fruity, this cider makes us wonder why we don't review more ciders on the show. Metaphore Qvevri is a wild ale from Czech Republic. Qvevri is a ancent Georgian earthenware vessels that were used to make and age wine. Metaphore has taken this practice and used it to age a...

Scandwich - ToOl 30 Days Italian Pilsner - Shapes and Objects Gorilla Juice - ep601
We're staying in the neighborhood and visited Scandwich. This is one of Malmö's best sandwich shops. But that's a bit a misnomer. The sandwiches are full meals. Grab and knive and fork because you're going to need to dig in to tackle these monsters. After years of developing a following, they were able to open their own restaurant and get a tap supplied by our friends at To Ol Brewing. This means they are always going to have some really good To Ol beers on tap. 30 Days Italian Pilsner is an Italian pilsner that only aged 30 days. This i...

Mikkeller Moriskan - Verdant They Went on Forever Ten Hands Bring on the Night - ep600
It's summer and we're on the road. Or at least down the street. We are hitting up several bars and restaruants around Malmö all summer. We kick this off with Mikkeller Moriskan. We reviewed this location a few years ago and it was great. We thought it was time to get out and revisit this summer popup. Is it still a popup bar if it's in the same place very summer for six years? This seasonal bar is a great venue on a warm summer day with lots of beer and food. Verdant They Went on Forever is a N...

Helsinge Pilsner - Hyllie Hapi Pils - ep598
Ahhh...summer time is finally here and that means we put away our pastry stouts and barleywines for something light, crisp and easy to drink on a warm day. There have been several posts Instagram and Facebook about how Sweden's best pilsner is Helsinge Pilsener. We wanted to test that against one of our favorite Hapi Pils from Hyllie Bryggeri. Helsinge Pilsener is a solid pilsner and defintely fits the bill. We both enjoyed it. Sweden's best? That's another story. Next up is Hapi Pils. This is a New Zealand pilsner. Where Helsinge Pilsener is tasty, Hapi Pils pops...

Eighth State Brewing Rouge in Exile - We Can Walk - ep597
Today's a very special episode. It's not often we get to celebrate Sweden National Day on the same day as an episode. But that's not all, it's also Martin's 400th episode. Of course something this special had to have special beers and special friends to join. We called in our beer nerd friends and we get busy celebrating. We have two from Eighth State Brewing. Rouge in Exile is a collab with Burial Beer Co. It's an imperial stout that was aged in bourbon barrels for two years then had dates, caramel, coconut, vanilla and cocoa nibs added. YUM! A...

Vigrum Modern Lager - Kosta Bryggeri Modern English - ep596
We're keeping it Swedish with a couple of fun new beers. Vigrum Bryggeri is a new one for us. We got our hands on a bottle of Modern Lager. This IPL comes in at 6% and blends the lager with a slightly hoppy finish. We're looking forward to trying more from Vigrum Bryggeri. Kosta Bryggeri is also new to us. We decided on the Modern English, a 5.8% English IPA. While it didn't blow us away, it a good beer. We're always excited to try new breweries and find new local beers to try. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #ipl #indiapalelager #e...

Brouwerij de Manskerel Manskerel Quad Barrel Aged - Big Belly Liquid Desserts 30 - ep595
Martin took a little trip to Breda, Netherlands. He was able to collect a few beers while he was there to bring back with him. Breda is a small little down just north of the Belgian boarder and has a suprising number of quality beer bars. The first beer we get to try is from Brouwerij de Manskerel Manskerel Quad Barrel Aged. This barrel aged Belgian quadrupel was aged in rum barrels for 12 months. Sadly, it's really missing the big rum punch we were expecting. Big Belly Brewery Liquid Desserts 30 is a 2 year barrel blend sticky Mexican coffee cake...
