This weeks harvest, an impulse buy at one of my local markets, netted five beers I hadn't experienced yet: 3 Swedish, 1 Britsh and 1 Finnish, all session beers at abv 3.5%
- Mari from Finnish Pühaste Brewery: Berliner Weisse style, sour wheat ale with blackcurrants, raspberries and blackberries. Not a friend of sour beers, I'm trying, trying, and nopes, not for me. I'm sure it's excellent but, nopes. Will use in some cooking
- Daredevil from Bulldog Brewery: what they call People's IPA -- it's a medium-sized brewery on the Island of Gotland with solid, popular craft beers [edit, got to taste it] oh hops hops, hopalong, hopalong, hops hops -it's an IPA. No complaints, good IPA
- Morning Glory from UK (well, specifically, Wales) Tiny Rebel Brewery. They define it as a Breakfast Stout, and yes, it is. With some coffee and cocoa, very breakfasty, of champions no doubt. A winner, I'll buy it again.
- The Serial Crusher Theory, a pilsner from All In Brewing in Gothenburg. A nice pilsner with a very traditional Swedish taste but with more flavour, and you know what, it tastes like beer. Call me Mr Unadventurous, but it's nice to have a beer for everyday drinking that won't destroy the food's flavour. We do have the notion of a table wine, why not a table beer? We need that too.
- Session Pale Ale from Brutal Brewing, a solid craft brewery (an offshoot of one the large Swedish breweries) and the first one that started producing and distributing beer with taste for the mass market. Solid hops (magnum galaxy and amarillo), solid ale, with some bread, a tinge of citrus and something else I can't quite place
