Finally ! A low ABV% fruited sour that hasn't been over-fruited to death. Toppling for the win…..

@scooter the TG sour looks great. I really like that they didn’t add lactose. As to the over fruiting, a local brewery here has had cans of their fruited beers exploding if they get warm from secondary fermentation caused by all the sugars from the fruit. Keep em cold

fruited beers exploding

A while back, Drekker had the same issue. The local distributor made it clear, to all the shops they service, proper refrigeration is required. I generally steer clear of them, anyway. I'm really not a fan…

I had that happen with a can of gose; I didn't realize it was even a possibility, but all it took was a couple of months at room temperature…

^This is why I have a third fridge that's set on 4C° for IPAs, sours and fruited sours…

Back to the Chicago suburbs, once again, for another new-to-me brewery. Energy City Brewing. This is a lovely dessert sour. Decadent, sweet, it's a bit much for regular consumption. But, it's a very nice treat…..

I had heard Aslin makes a good stout. Let's just say, I heard right…..

Back in Norway for work.  A nice light and easy drinking Polar Bear beer from Mack brewery Tromso.  Blue or White?

I'm assuming blue's more potent so… blue...

[hajduk]

Can i ask where in Norway?

^Cellar one of those for me, please. I'll be there in a year, or so…

Scott, you would love this. I tried some last night and it really is something pretty special

The blue is a standard 4.7% lager. The white is the reduced calorie, gluten free version at 4.2%. In northern Norway we call them both «pessvaijn».

@Alex , I have no doubt, I would enjoy it. I think the addition of a quality stout to the beer menu is in order, for the next party…

@hajduk Currently in a quarantine hotel in Sadnes    ( Sandnes ) waiting to go offshore next week to work.

Scorching hot weather today so planning on draining those tins with some Sorland sweet chilli Chips in about the next 30 minutes.

I quite like the Mack beers, easy drinking stuff.  I visited the brewery shop in Tromso last year when I was working up there and tried a few of their different  beers.  They have a great pub "Olhallen" complete with stuffed Isbjornen / polar bear, definitely worth a visit if you are up that way.

When I worked previously in Norway in the Sandnes / Stavanger area  I learned not to buy rounds of beer with work colleagues as the local tap beer at the time was Tou.  No idea what they put in that drink but it was cruel and deceitful, it did not taste bad but you would get the worst hangover ever while drinking it even only 3 beers into a session.  Never again, worst hangover ever without a doubt from drinking draft Tou.

Tou is no longer made in Tou but I believe was sold off to Ringnes brewery where it is made under licence.  I wonder if it is still as bad / good for handing out hangovers?
