This is really a number of different gatherings mashed together into one big bunch.
It stretches from the end of Stockholm Beer Festival, where amongst others we found a new number 1:
Samuel Adam's Millennium, also the strongest beer we've ever sampled. A truly unique brew.
It also includes severals stops at the pubs Akkurat and Oliver Twist, as well as a beer haul from Spain, France
and Portugal, plus whatever beers we could locate at home.
The silver medal in this round was won by the limited edition well hopped lager from Swedish west coast microbrewer Grebbestad. The surprise showings includes theblack roasty Spanish beer La Zaragozana Ambar Negra,
as well as the flavourful Three Horses Beer Pilsener from Madagascar, one out of
three new countries - the other two being St. Lucia and St. Vincent (Thanks to Johan Fors for those!)
