On tap at Tavernertavern: Nøgne Ø #100

[Taverner]

IPA fans - if you can find this obscure Norwegian Beer - BUY IT. It is nectar supreme. Just like how different parts of the US brew IPA's and DIPA's to their local style, Norway does its IIPA to the beat of a Norwegian Drummer. One who speaks not of Lutevisk, but of Cascade Hops and Wheat (yeah, wheat!) malt. Mostly Barley malt, but there is some wheat, and it gives this beer a rich, different and subtle flavor.

I love this stuff, and at the end of the bottle I was tempted to book RT tickets to Grimstad to buy a case of this stuff.

So here's a salute to my DU Norwegian-American Brothers - may you try this beer and may you catch many fish!

Oh, and bring me back a case - OK? Next time you hit Oslo.

1. Tomorrow is Syttende Mai

sort of the Norwegian/Scandinavian Cinco de Mayo.

No, I am not Norwegian, or Scandinavian. I learned of this custom the way everyone else did, from Garrison Keillor. :-)

So, Happy Syttende Mai Eve! :beer:
