    Quite recent history

    Posted: September 28th, 2011, 4:52pm CEST by knutalbert
    I don’t really go back reading my old blog posts, though the basic philosophy behind these scribblings will be evident for anyone reading over time. Sure, I know which countries I have covered, but when it comes to comments on the Norwegian beer scene, I know some of them are already snapshots of dark ages [...]

    The beer selection at my local ICA supermarket isn’t bad. At least not if you compare to just a few years ago. Two Scottish ales, several stouts, a few beers from Nøgne Ø and Haandbryggeriet. Lagers from Slovakia, Germany and the Czech republic. Even a few Goose Island brews. But I’m afraid a significant percentage [...]

    Beery apps

    Posted: September 12th, 2011, 7:02pm CEST by knutalbert
    Alan has finally surrendered and bought an iPhone. He then, naturally, asks if there are any beery apps he could purchase. I have been thinking about this as well, and as I’ve played with my iPhone for some months I have looked at a few beer apps. The ones I have found most interesting are [...]
