Omnipollo Three Times Three Vol 2 - North Park Three Times Three Vol 1 - ep585

3/14/2024
It's three times the fun with three times the ABV. We have the marketing focused Omnipollo series called Three Times Three. Seven breweries all brew the same beer. It's an interesting challenge that shows how much the brewery making the beer can make a difference. Omnipollo is the first to release Three Times Three Vol 2. This TIPA comes in a smooth 10.1%. Look for it and other breweries releasing it at some point. North Park Beer Company has released their take on Three Times Three Vol 1. North Park's version of this beer is incredible. One of the best TIPA's we've had this year. To make this episode even more special we're joined by Frosty Beard Marcus and the Lord of Potatoes Pontus. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #tipa #ominpollo #northparkbeercompany

Stjernsund California Commons - Oceanbryggeriet Special Strong Ale - ep584

3/7/2024
We are exploring the brewing possiblities of Sweden. Stjernsund Brygghus is exploring a style not often seen in Sweden. California Commons is brewed with lager yeast but fermented at ale fermentation temperatures. It was made famous by Anchor Brewing Company. It's an interesting attempt at the style. Oceanbryggeriet likes to do cask ales and traditional styles. Special Strong Ale is an English Strong Ale. This style is a malty, lightly hopped and bitter ale with a bit of alcohol warmth. This one comes in at 7.2% ABV and fits the bill. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #californiacommons #strongale

Laugar - Midnight Harvest - Aupa Tovarisch Armagnac BA - ep583

2/29/2024
Spainsh brewery Laugar has been cranking out a wide variety of beers for years now. Martin brought two of their latest stouts. Midnight Harvest is an imperial stout aged in Porto wine and Bourbon whisky barrel aged. The two give a lot of character to the base stout but that's not always a good thing. Aupa Tovarisch Armagnac BA is their classic Aupa Tovarsich Russian imperial stout aged in Argmagnac barrels for 24 months. This faired far better. By focusing on one barrel type, the base stout really picks up the amazing flavors and creates a very drinkable stout. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #laugar #russinaimperialstout #imperialstout #barrelagedstout

Cantillon Fou Foune 2021 - Thomas Hardy's Ale The Historical 2021 - ep582

2/22/2024
We went classic with a couple of well respected beers from master brewers. Cantillon releases a lot of one off beers every year. They have nice group of regular releases as well. Fou' Foune is a blend of 18 to 20 month lambics with Bergeron apricots and Italian apricots. It's tart, fruity and always a thrill to have. Next is Thomas Hardy's Ale, The Historical (2021). It's an annual release that ages great. This is a very traditional English barley wine that is really smooth and easy to drink. We've had several vintages and it's great fresh as well as aged. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #cantillon #lambic #geuze #barleywine #englishbarleywine

Brekeriet Sour & Salt 2015 - Smedsbo Slott Salzstout - ep581

2/15/2024
We got a little crazy this episode. Martin found a classic bottle from Brekeriet, back when they only released 750 ml bottles in foreign webshops. Now you can find loads of their amazing beers in Systembolaget. Back in 2015 you could only get a a few like Sour & Salt. The fresh bottles are lightly tart with a nice saltiness. This hasn't aged as well as we had hoped. It was fun to try. Stefan brought a bottle from a new brewery from Smedsbo. Smedsbo Slott released Salzstout 2023. This implies an annual release but this is the first year of the beer. Coming in at 12.5% abv, it has salty liquorice note with a deep roast base. It's fun fine from an up and coming brewery. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #imperialstout #stout #sourbeer #gose

Metro - Orval & 3 Fonteinen Oude Kriek 2016 - ep580

2/8/2024
We made it out to Metro in Malmö. They have an interesting tap list but where they excel is their bottle list. They have a wide selection of bottles and cans to choose from. We started with an Orval. This Belgian pale ale is a true classic and just hits right every time you have it. It always makes you wonder why you don't drink it more often. Then we found a real diamond, a 3 Fonteinen Oude Kriek 2016. It's not everyday you see a 7 year-old lambic on a list that isn't crazy expensive. This has aged beautifully. Tart, sweet with notes of cinnamon and cherry. We couldn't have been happier. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #lambic #kriek #belgianpaleale #orval #3fonteinen

Remmarlöv The Double Jeenius - Elmeleven We Are Not Alone - ep579

2/1/2024
It's time to feature some recent Swedish releases. Show favorite brewery Remmarlöv has released a double IPA version of their traditional Jennius IPA. The Double Jeenius is a bolder version of their traditional IPA. This isn't hazy or malty but just a strong, traditional DIPA. Elm Eleven has been very successful with their pastry sour beers. We Are Not Alone continues that trend with a raspberry, blackberry, toasted marshmallow sour. It's crazy drinkable and delicious. While we love the pastry sours, we hope he's able to do other styles soon. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #dipa #remmarlov #elmeleven #pastrysour #sourbeer

Sudden Death Brewing Shitter was Full - Ratsherrn Brauerei Hamburg Senatsbock - ep578

1/25/2024
Stefan was able to travel to Germany a couple of weeks ago, so you know what that means...German Beers! Lubeck and Hamburg are amazing cities to visit with loads of art and culture. He didn't bother with any of that and just went for the beers. Sudden Death Brewing is based out of Lubeck. They opened an amazing taproom that is a destination spot for any beer traveller. Shitter was Full is inspired by the National Lampoon classic Christmas Vacation. It's a 7.9% AVB DIPA. It was as much fun to drink as it was to talk about the movie. Ratsherrn Brauerei has a really nice taproom and bottleshop with an eye towards traditional German styles. Hamburg Senatsbock is an annual doppelbock release that comes in at a 7.5% ABV. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #doppelbock #dipa #germanbeers

1/18/2024
Casual Street Food is an award winning hamburger joint plus fish tacos. The burgers are top notch and their beer selection is usally very interesting. They have tap takeovers on a regular basis which keeps us coming back. We had to try the house beer, Casual Modern Lager. This amber lager is brewed by Malmö's Rocket Brewing Company. It's always fun to try the house beer. Danish brewery Dry & Bitter has released a West Coast IPA called Chrome Chrysalis. Dry hopped with Columbus, Ekuanot, Motueka and Wai-iti hops, it's got some tropical notes with a bit of maltiness. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #ipa #amberlager #lager #westcoastipa

Opopoppa - ToOl Svos and Shapes & Objects Piano Keys - ep576

1/11/2024
Opopoppa is an oddly named pizza place in Malmö. Not only do they have great pizzas and calzones but also an exciting selection of beers. We managed to get two interesting ones. To Ol Svos is an easy drinking American IPA. It's straight up the middle to style IPA pairs well with pizza. Shapes & Objects Beer Co is a new brewery here in Sweden. They've 15 releases in just a few months. They mostly do fruit beers or fruited sours. Piano Keys Raspberry Cream Blackberry Sour is a 6% ABV fruit beer. This collaboration with Ten Hands Brewing and Forager Brewery is a tart, intense fruit beer. We're looking forward to trying trying more from them in the future. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #fruitbeer #sourbeer #ipa #americanipa
