    @neph93:

    Pisses me off that neither JK nor Prairie have come to NO yet. Can't understand why the monopoly is dragging its arse.

    A lot of Jester King's stuff doesn't even make it off site honestly.
    Hard to come across some of it unless you make it out there on a release weekend.

      Yeah, I'm in Houston, only a three hour drive from the Jester King brewery and their beer is pretty sporadically stocked around here.  You really do have to go to the brewery if you want much of anything.

      Prairie seems much more widely distributed, though.  You may actually have a chance at seeing that someday soon.

        Prairie is getting more and more distribution in Texas, went to the store today and saw a ton of their beers. Grabbed a couple Okies, exited to try them out.

          Thanks guys, I get the picture. Small brewery, small runs. I hear so much about these two brands and Prairie at least has made it to some Euro countries. The state run monopoly in Norway which is the only way to get alcohol over 4.7 abv is actually a fantastic organisation that manages to get hold of quality beverages from around the world. We get great stuff from pretty much anywhere either in the local store or available from online lists. So I'm a bit spoilt really. It'll turn up one day.

              Fullers is really consistent quality for one of the larger breweries @Seul
              I picked up these on the way back from holiday..highlights were the Prairie Bible Belt and Mikkeller Brunch Weasel.
              If anyone is ever in Canterbury there is an amazing beer shop at "The Goods Shed"

                    How was the Vintage Ale?

                    Just started the weekend with this. Specially ordered, this is Nøgne's version of a Belgian classic…

                      Fair bit of sherry… But still good... How is the Oud Bruin?..

                        A bit meh to be honest. Authentic aged bruin taste which is nice. Boozy (it's 7%abv) and vinous. A bit too flat at the end to be well balanced. One of those where you suspect they had more fun making it than I am having drinking it.

                            YULE MAELK!.. It's the first beer I'll have when I'm settled at my new place in about two weeks - and it's the first beer I'll be drinking straight from the cellar  🙂

                              That Special Holiday Ale is great, Aetas. Personal fave.

                              Here's some more Nøgne. This one's a doozy. A collab Impy Stout called M.O.L.E.  Practically no head, thick and sticky and damn tasty. Great stuff.

                                I always wonder about the "best before" date.

                                  Yep. Fullers is good for a bigger brewery. Pride looked after well on tap is a nice session ale.

                                    Haha… There  you go! I had to special order this and you pick it up in Deutschland 😃

                                    This one will age well, no doubt. Probably last beyond those four years on the bottle. I almost never manage to cellar things though. I have a very small collection of 3 bottles laid down. They're all drinkable now, so I have to remind myself all the time that they don't exist 😉

                                      Right now I have about 8 cases and some big bottles at my mate's cellar… But now I'll have my own cellar, so it will be much harder not to touch it...
