8th Anniversary - Bishop's Arms Overtone Against All Odds Buxton The Beer - ep540
Holy Smokes...it's our 8th Anniversary! Many said it couldn't be done. Others said, "Oh you're still doing that?" Many more said "Why?" Despite them, we don't know the meaning of the word quit! We're still going strong and keep releaseing an episode a week. We decided to go to Lund and visit the Bishop's Arms. Bishop's Arms pubs are all over Sweden. It's a national bar chain. Each location decides what beers to have on tap and in fridges. Some are better than others. The one in Lund is excellent. We start with Overtone Against All Odds. It's a collaboration with Allkin Brewing. This IPA is made with Cita, Citra Cryoc Cryo Pop and Solero hops. It's another solid beer from Overtone. Next we have the return of a favorite. Buxton and Omnipollo have relaunched The Beer. Formally known as Yellow Belly and Coward, The Beer is a peanut butter biscuit stout that contains no peanut butter or biscuits. Like the podcast, it's a classic that keeps you coming back for more. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #imperialstout #stout #ipa #omnipollo #buxtonbrewing #overtone

Friends Sunny Berry Smooje - Duckpond Nik Gose Bananas - ep539
We've seen quite a few fruit beers in the Swedish beer scene. Friends and Duckpond have been leading the way for the rest of Sweden to follow. Friends Sunny Berry Smooje is a gose with strawberry, raspberry, lemon and vanilla. Tart, sweet and a lot of fun to drink. Friends continues to experiment and bring out lots of great sour fruit beers. Duckpond has released a really odd beer. We've had lots of banana beers in the past, but they are usually a stout. A banana gose is a new one for us. Nik Gose Bananas is a gose with bananas and vanilla. It's a wild beer and we're glad we go to try it even if we didn't find it entirely successful. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #fruitbeer #sourbeer #gose #pastrysour

Torgets Taperia - Summer ale, Ode to Hopes and Emperador
We are still in Lund and we are just down the street from Purgatorio. Torgets Taperia is a bistro with it's own on premise brewery. It's in the center of town and a great spt to people watch. They had scores of their own beer to sample. We got excited about this find. We tried three different beers. First up is Summer Ale. This is a pale ale that didn't live up to our expectations. Next is Ode to Hopes. This is an IPA but we were confused. It tasted more like a British Mild Ale or a Brown Ale. We completely missed the hops. Then we tried Emperador. At 8.2% ABV, we didn't have high hopes for it but it was a pleasant surprise. This is a classic stout with slightly burnt notes of liquorice and toffee. We really enjoyed it. Torgets Bryggeri might not be the best brewery but it's a great location with loads of promise. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #lager #ipa #stout

Purgatorio - Brekeriet Sommarlager and Fruktstereo Brutulaijs Noveau - ep537
We're on the road and made it to Lund. It's a short 10 minute train ride from Malmö and the second largest college in Sweden. Lund has never been a beer town. Well, that's changed in the past couple of years. Where COVID has been hard for a lot of places, Lund seems to have thrived with new beer bars. Purgatorio is a joint effer with wild ale brewery Brekeriet. We love them and going to their bar is a real treat. We start with Brekeriet Sommarlager. This a light slighly funky lager. We loved this and they gave us free fries to go with it. We will be back for sure. Fruktstereo is a Malmö brewery specializing in ciders and fruit beers. Brutulaijs Noveau 2022 is a cider that drinks like a red wine. We assume it's based on the French young wine called Beaujolais Nouveau. This cider is extremely drinkable and makes you feel a little fancy while you do it. We loved Purgatorio and look forward to future visits. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #purgatorio #cider #lager #brekeriet

Hoppy Road La Force - La Biarrote Corsaire - ep536
During his global travels, Stefan visited the south of France. Of course while he was there he picked up some beers from new breweries. First up is La Force from Hoppy Road. It’s part of their Tarot Series. This is a Hazy IPA that shows that France can make more than wine and champagne. It would be fun to try more in the series. La Biarrote is a small brewery from Biarritz, France. This is a small seaside tourist town in the South of France. You can only find this beer there. The brewer just does this in his free time. Corsaire is a traditional IPA. Bitter, hoppy and delicious. It reminds us of how IPA used to be. We hope this inspires you to search out hidden gems while you’re out travelling. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #ipa #hazyipa

Finback Macchiato - Kees Colin the Caterpillar - ep535
Martin brought in some interesting beers from two of our favourite breweries. Finback is an amazing brewery out of Queens, NY. We’ve enjoyed quite a few of their beers in the past and double coffee stout sounds awesome. A macchiato is an espresso with a small amount of foam on top. Macchiato is an 8.5% double coffee stout with coffee and caramel. The coffee really shines through and you get that espresso experience. We keep the stout train rolling with a double pastry stout from Brouwerij Kees. Colin the Caterpillar is a 12.4% ABV beer with milk and white chocolate. This one is a bit unbalanced and came in with a really hot alcohol burn. Be sure to check out Bjornstyleguiden as Björn joins this episode again. But even if he wasn’t joining, you should be watching his videos. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #coffeestout #pastrystout #stout
