The state of the Norwegian beer scene never ceases to amaze me, and
given that I'm a native Norwegian, I thought international readers
might enjoy a look at what goes on here. If nothing else, it might
have some entertainment value. The occasion for this blog entry is a
beer test, initially published by a
Norwegian magazine about cottages (as in summer houses, mountain
retreats, etc). This magazine is owned by the media conglomerate Schibsted, which
also publishes the main Norwegian
daily, and so the test has now made its way onto the
site of said daily. So the unwary reader could be forgiven for
assuming that it was published by the most prestigious newspaper in
Norway.
