Ohhh... My Head... - Summer travels and festivals 2004

Beers rated Jun-Aug 2004
Most of these rating is a result of either my tour to Norway, a tour to northern Lithuania or RateBeer 1st Annual European Summer Party. The first thing that happened was a tour of all Norwegian brewpubs. There are currently only four of them. The ones in Moss, Oslo and Trondheim were all similar and obviously influenced by USA. The last one is special because it's situated near North Cape, and thus Nordkapp Mikrobryggeri in Honningsvåg is the northernmost brewery in the world. At the point I visited Norway had two microbreweries (more are on the way). One is the very good Nøgne Ø, whose beers you can find also in stores around Oslo. The other one, Valdres is smaller and situated up in the mountains. I took a chance and visited them without establishing contact, and was very lucky. I caught the brewmaster brewing, and he served me his new traditional juniper ale. A great beer enjoyed in the most beautiful scenery imaginable. The 2nd beer hunt was with old friend Joshua Oakes in Lithuania. After searching the main cities for good beer we came up with not much, but going north to the small towns of Pasvalys, Birzai and Pakruojis we were richly rewarded with a Bambergesque beerscene. There was countless of interesting very small traditional breweries in these regions. My fondest memories from these towns are the wonderful Alaus Baras Kielas in Pasvalys, where the regions finest beers were served in a wonderful rural family pub with the owner being an attraction in himself. The 2nd greatest memory was stumbling upon Birzai Beer Festival, and also meeting Lithuanian beer journalist Vidmantas, who taught us a lot about beer in Lithuania. The beer in the northern part of Lithuania does have a lot of character. It's often very minerally, probably deriving from the special water. Many beers are very hop aromatic, but few are bitter. This is because of the hops in northern Lithuania. Most beers are also very strong, up to 9.5%, but yet very drinkable. They are preferrably served with low carbonation. The biggest happening however was, of OMH hosting the 1st ever RateBeer European Summer Party. During 4 mad days in August hundreds of rare beers were served, pubs were emptied of their liquids and darts were thrown into feet. More about this happening can be found at RateBeer. The winning beer this summer was no less than 29 years old - a Thomas Hardy's Ale dating back to 1975 sampled alongside too younger vintages. Number two was a very special, rare and luxurious beer. AleSmith Barrel Aged Speedway Stout a gift from the brewery for the RateBeer European Summer Party. Another extremely good beer was a Cantillon aged in cognac casks. Another very positive thing this summer was that we could sample beer from no less than four new Swedish microbreweries: Oppigård who's beer is only available in bottles in Dalarna, Kinnekulle Bryggeri , a very small brewery with only one known outlet in rural Forshem, Hantverksbryggeriet an American style micriobrewer from Västerås, and finally Irish Pub in Sundsvall on the coast 600km north of Stockholm, a cask only brewpub. Even better was that all of their beers were good or very good. Of course we managed to find some new countries. This time Cayman Islands and Belize. A funny thing was that we also managed to sample the southernmost beer I know of Austral Polar Beer from southernmost Chile.
