what's on tap podcast Stefan Halley & Mathias Olofsson

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 #drinks #saison #farmhouseale #hillfarmstead 

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 very easy to drink. We saw another beer on the menu that we couldn't pass up. Brewski Grandmother Gose is a mango, lime and habanero gose. Image a spicy margarita as a beer. It's a spice that builds over time and doesn't completely wreck the palate but comes close. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #neipa #hazyipa #ipa #gose #mikkeller 

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 wild ale. The beer is aged for one year in a qvevri and buried in the ground with loads of Riesling grapes. Then it's aged on oak barrels for another year. With strong mineral notes blended with hints of Reisling, they really did something special here. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #cider #lambic #wildale #qvevri

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 is because Italian style pilsners are not aged more than 4-5 weeks creating a lighter, more herbal beer compared to its Czech or Germany counterparts. This will be a killer summer beer. Shapes and Objects makes their second appearance on the show with Gorilla Juice. This is a collab with Duckpond Brewing. It's a fruited gose with banana, mango, and liquorice candy. You're enjoyment will depend on how much you enjoy banana and liquorice flavors. Fortunately we do. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #toolbeer #italianpils #gose #pilsner #duckpondbrewing #shapesandobjectingbrewing

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 NEIPA made with mosaic, nelson sauvin and galaxy hops. Verdant fumbled for a couple of years but it feels like they are getting back on track with a solid NEIPA. Swedish brewery Ten Hands Bring on the Night is a heavy roasted double stout. This is a solid base stout that brings the chocolate, liquorice and coffee notes you would expect from a heavily roasted stout.  #beer #craftbeer #drinks #verdant #tenhands #neipa #dipa #imperialstout

Last episode we said it's time to put away the stouts and barleywines. We may have spoke too soon. This week, we have a double dose of Frontaal barrel aged beers. Frontaal Brewing Churchill BA Vol. 1 is an imperial stout aged on Wild Turkey barrels. This is straight down the barrel. It does what says on the label and not more than that. Piece of Cake BA #1 is part of their Piece of Cake series. This one is barrel aged and make with spekkoek. Obviously spekkoek is a type of Indonesian layer cake developed during colonial times in the Dutch East Indies. But we're not telling you anything you didn't already know.  #beer #craftbeer #drinks #imperialstout #spekkoek #barrelaged
