10 Year Anniversary - ep 685 55:09

Play Pause

6d ago55:09

55:09

10 Year is a long time. We can hardly believe it ourselves. To celebrate we brought together Björn and Martin to go head to head in our toughest Game of Beers yet! Five rounds, winner takes all for the ultimate bragging glory. Who knows their beer trivia? Who can pick the right lager? It was a very close race but only one could survive. We want to …

Malmo Mead and Cocktail - Ask Staff IPA, Tropical Blueberry, Exclusive Peach 20:02

12d ago20:02

20:02

We've talked about Malmö Taproom many times but did you know they have a second bar (some would say hidden) bar? Just behind Malmö Taproom is Malmo Mead and Cocktail Bar. It's a small room with lots of meads, cocktails and craft beer. We tried the cleverly titled Ask Staff IPA. This is a solid IPA that wasn't on the Taproom menu. We followed that u…

Gaststatte kolsch - Muhlen kolsch - ep683 22:13

20d ago22:13

22:13

If you're a bar and you're only going to serve one beer, it better be a good one. In Malmö, we have a series of Czech inspired bars that only serve the same beer. Now, we have a kolsch style bar. Based on the German concept, Gaststatte kolsch has one beer, Muhlen kolsch. It's only served one size, 20cl. They will keep bringing you glasses as long a…

Traquair 900 07 - Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout 06 - ep682 22:13

27d ago22:13

22:13

Summe is over and the fall is fast approaching. To celebrate Martin dusted off some forgotten beers from his cellar to remind us that somethings don't need to be saved forever. Traquair 900 (2007) is an English barleywine. Barleywines are great to age...for a little while. After awhile it comes oddly minty. Not sure why it does but it's an instant …

Drottningholms Sur - Flying Guru Hrym - ep681 23:38

1M ago23:38

23:38

As the summer starts to wind down, we still want to take a moment to apprecaite the sun and fun. What better way then with two light, refreshing sour beers. Drottningholms Sur blends blueberries, black currants and honey for a heavy hitting 7% AVB sour. Flying Guru Hrym is a farmhouse ale aged for 14 months and 8 months on riesling grapes before be…

Drowned Lands - Fern - Black Gold - ep680 17:53

1M ago17:53

17:53

We got to try a double shot of Drowned Lands. It's a new brewery from the US for us. Fern is a 6.5% ABV NEIPA. Made with lots of wheat and oats and hopped with strata and citra, it's a juicy little number. With a name like Fern you would think it would be more earthy. Black Gold Coffee is a straight down the middle bourbon barrel aged imperial stou…

Funky Fluid Gelato Plum and Cherry Jam Gingerbread - Kingpin Burlesca - ep680 14:50

2M ago14:50

14:50

After featuring Funky Fluid/Nerdbrewing collab last week, we thought it woudl be fun to return to Poland and try some more beers. Funky Fluid Gelato is their marquee beer. They crank out a lot of them. Stefan picked up Plum and Cherry Jam Gingerbread. Swedes love these flavors so it's only natural that we should have this beer on the show. At 5.5% …

Nerdbrewing - Karamellstout & BA Royal Cookie S'more - ep679 20:49

2M ago20:49

20:49

Hannes over at Nerdbrewing has been quite for a while. After leaving Molecule he's taken some time to figure out his next step. Now he's back with two killer collabs. First is a collab with Smedsbo Slott called Karamellstout. This is a 12% ABV imperial stout that uses Palo Santo (listen to find out what that is) and vanilla. It's an interesting ble…

Salikatt Camel Up - Moersleutel Barcode: Nitro Blue - ep678 16:28

2M ago16:28

16:28

We had some fun this episode. We got two beers to put us right in the mood to drink beer. (Honestly, all beers put us right in the mood to drink beer.) Norwegian brewery Salikatt Camel Up is an 8% AVB hazy DIPA. Made with citra dynaboost, citra cryo and galaxy hops, it packs a fruity, delicious punch. Moersleutel Barcode: Nitro Blue is part of the …

Speciation Extropian - Side Project Blueberry Flanders - ep677 14:25

2M ago14:25

14:25

Summer sours are the best kind of sours. Martin reached into his cellar and brought out a couple of treats for us to try. Originally released in 2019, Speciation Extropian is a wild ale with peaches, cinnamon and vanilla. It was part of the Mikkeller Beer Club, back when that was a thing. We follow it with Side Project Blueberry Flanders (Blend #2)…

Browar Artezan Fafik - Ziemia Obiecana Grand Kru - ep676 19:30

3M ago19:30

19:30

Stefan went on a bit of a summer trip and brought back some beers. He visited Poland. The craft beer scene in Poland is strong and very alive. He was able to visit tons of craft beer bars and didn't try the same beer twice. Browar Artezan has released a traditional Polish beers style called a grodziskie. It's a light abv beer with hints of smoke. F…

Goteborgs Nya Bryggeri Summer Passion - Broughton Brewery Wee Jock 90 Shilling - ep675 15:36

3M ago15:36

15:36

It's summer and we need to cool off. Fortunately we have beers! Goteborgs Nya Bryggeri is bringing the passion to all the hot steamy days with Summer Passion. This Berliner Weisse is packed with raspberry and passion fruit. At only 4.7% ABV, it will help you cool off. Broughton Brewery Wee Jock 90 Shilling is a wee heavy or scotch ale. It's not a l…

Common Roots Spinner - Burning Sky Anniversaire - ep674 13:42

3M ago13:42

13:42

It was the best of time. It was the worst of times. Martin brought two beers for this episode, which includes one of Stefan's least favorite styles. Next to Black IPA, witbier is his one of his least favorites. There's a reason in 674 episodes there have never been a review. We love our virginity to Common Roots Spinner. This 4.5% ABV witbier has c…

Spyglass Borealis - Finback Oscillation 040 - ep673 16:18

3M ago16:18

16:18

We're in the heart of the summer and we need some IPA's to cool us down. It's a perfect time for this! We start with Spyglass Borealis. This NEIPA comes in at 8.1% ABV made with British Ale yeast and hopped with Citra, NZ Rakau and EU Enigma. This is a stone fruit bomb. Finback Oscillation 040 is part of their NEIPA line. 040 is the latest version.…

Stigbergets The Kernel Victorian Porter - Nogne Ship-Shape and Bristol Fashion - ep672 17:41

3M ago17:41

17:41

Even though it's bright and sunny, we still like to keep it dark. First up we're treated to a collaboration between great breweries. Stigbergets teamed up with The Kernel to create a traditional English porter. Taking inspiration from an 1800's London Porter recipe, Victorian Porter is a roasted delight. We follow that up with a big imperial stout …

Badlands Brewing - Secret Wave - March DIPA - ep671 21:43

4M ago21:43

21:43

It's time to play Martin's favorite game. Let's discover a new brewery. It's not so much a game as an obesssion. This time he found a brewery from Ontario, Canada. Badlands Brewing has some releases at Systembolaget so we jumped at the chance to try them. Secret Wave is an annual release of a Hazy IPA. Made with galazy, nectaron and simcoe, it's go…

Batch Brewing This Side Up - Funky Fluid Gelato XTREME: Blue Velvet - ep670 21:35

4M ago21:35

21:35

We're all about education on this show. Over the years we've learned a lot about beer and beer styles. This episode we learn about NEIPA and how to best store them. Stefan has been doing this for years but Batch Brewing is educating the masses. Because NEIPA tend to settle over time, they created This Side Up, a NEIPA at 8.5% ABV. The label is upsi…

Smedsbo Slott Pascha - Ekero Brygghus Barley Wine - ep669 21:53

4M ago21:53

21:53

We know summer is approaching but that doesn't mean we're leaving our favorite dark, heavy beers behind. We had to try couple of the highest ABV beers released by Swedish breweries this year. Smedsbo Slott is beginning to become a regular on the show. Pascha is a called a stout on Untappd but they call it a Seasonal Ale. What's a seasonal ale? Who …

Malmo Taproom - Goodnik, Brings all the boys to the yard, Invisible Thunder - ep668 21:01

4M ago21:01

21:01

This episode was recorded before the tragic loss of Li. She was an amazing woman and helped create in the Malmö beer scene. She will be greatly missed. Our hearts go out to Anders, Malmö Taproom and everyone affected by her passing. We haven't reviewed a Malmo Brewing beer from Malmö Taproom in a long time. They got a new head brewer last year and …

Wapno Lya - Funky Fluid Free Szarlotka - ep667 15:37

5M ago15:37

15:37

Summer is fast approaching so we wanted to look at some lighter beers. Wapno Lya Belgian Blonde is a 6% ABV that gets a little Belgian-ish without deep diving into the pure Belgian funkyness. Funky Fluid Free Szarlotka is a non-alcoholic apple pie gelato. It really hits the apple and cinnamon notes and feels like it would be a great non-alcoholic b…

Nynashamns Angryggeri Svenska Olframjandet 40ar Jubileumsol - Schneider Weisse Cuvee Barrique - ep666 12:52

5M ago12:52

12:52

We looked over the shelves at Systembolaget and found a couple of things that grabbed our interest. Two classic breweries have beers out. One is a classic and one is...something else. Nynashamns Angryggeri has been releasing some great traditional beers for years. Svenska Ölfrämjandet 40 år Jubileumsöl is a dark mild that celebrates their 40th anni…

Grona Linjen Bira Bira Bira - Högdalen - ep665 16:24

5M ago16:24

16:24

Martin made a trip to Stockholm and picked up some beers. The subway system in Stockholm is amazing and worth the time to ride each line to see all the different decorations per stop. It's a lot of fun. Martin stopped on the Grona Linjen or Green Line because they have beers. He picked up two beers from them. Bira Bira Bira is a nice lager at 5% AB…

Brouwerij-Kerkon Hop Verdomme - Sullivan's Black Marble Stout - ep664 15:01

5M ago15:01

15:01

We searched around Systembolaget and found a couple of beers that peeked our interest. Martin found a Belgian IPA from Brouwerij-Kerkon. Hop Verdomme is a 7% ABV featuring 7 Flemish hops, which if 7 more than we were aware of. Stefan found an Irish dry stout from Sullivan's brewing. Black Marble comes in at 5.1% and give Guiness a run for it's mone…

Easter Beers 2025 - ep663 20:06

6M ago20:06

20:06

It's Easter so that means it's time for Easter beers! What are Easter beers? I used to be boring lagers and brown ales but now it's just beers with an Easter theme. There were 108 beers released at Systembolaget to mark the holiday. Sadly, most of them didn't make it to shops in Malmö. We were able to find a few on the shelves. First is Bökebergs B…

Beerium BFG 2025 - Lervig Paragon 2023 - ep662 19:41

We got some heavy hitters this episode. Big beers are always in season no matter the weather. Beerium has released their annual stout called Beeriums Friendly Giant 2025. Filled with notes of liquorice and chocolate, this stout is roasted really hard and the flavors come through. One of our favorite Norwegain breweries Lervig has come out their ann…
