      Oh and I've never bought Gipsy Hill before because the ratings of the available beers were too low… With so many beers available here, with many new ones added on a daily base, you have to draw the line somewhere... For me, that is that I will not buy a beer scoring lower than 4.0 on Untappd. My mate's decided to do 4.2 even.

      Aaah beer snobs... You gotta love hating them...

          Everything over 4.7% is exclusively sold via a state owned monopoly.

          Interesting. Does it have any noticeable effect on the beers produced by local breweries? Do you get a proliferation of 4.6% beers so they can be sold direct to consumers, or anything like that?

            So who exactly decides what is imported into Norway and what isn't?..

            The monopoly is set up with a charter definite the principles for its operation. Quality and choice are two of them. They deal with some foreign distributors directly but they also give concessions to selected import companies who them do the shopping for them. It does mean the selection is a little odd at times, and the pricing is out of whack with the rest of the planet (that can go both ways, but normally the wrong way). But it also means some crazy hard to get stuff turns up in large numbers (the last few boxes of Tilquin’s «spoilt batch» for example).

              Ha, that seems fair enough, not even sure I'd call it snobbery to be honest. If you mostly buy your beers online and you don't mind too much how much you pay*, you have to find some way of choosing between the thousands on offer. Untappd reviews is probably more sensible than just basing it on which can artwork you like the look of.

              *and you don't live in Norway!

                                  Everyone busting out the killer stouts/porters today. I will be having one a little later on and will post. @neph93 I’d kill for the beer you posted as I like the bourbon that it was barrel aged in.

                                          As promised. My current favorite. A horchata inspired stout. 8.5 on the alcohol. Just delicious.
