    It will be of average quality but will suffer from poor reviews because some assembly is required before consumption.

    I wonder if there will be rioting when it is released, like that IKEA in London a few years ago?

    Will likely have virtually no carbonation at all given that it will be sold in a flat pack.

    Fill in the blanks folks, for an amusing pastime.

    Oak = rauchbier?
    Black = Schwarzbier

    On their website it says the "assembled size" is 330 ml. No mention of what tools are required for assembly though.

    In my case it was because when I finally got the thing assembled I noticed I had installed the cap upside-down and the label was on the inside of the bottle.

    I got to try this beer. It's functional, but half the bottles end up bjorken.

    Two months from now I'm going to come up with a great joke for this thread. Aside from being bland for my gravity and rather disappointing, I'm apparently not as funny as I thought I was.

    Edit: Wait, doesn't this thread belong in the Scandinavia forum? Score! Not great, but I'll take it!

    It's because it's being sold in UK Ikeas I think.

    I've seen this in store but never been desperate curious enough to buy one.

    Mainly because in the shop I've got my hands full of frozen meatballs. And I'm looking forward to beating my 'how many 50p hot dogs can I fit in my mouth in one go' record.

    And I refuse to buy any more furniture from them until they name a hat stand "Beeblebrox".

    i've hjad bjoth of thjem and they suckjed. The lager tasted like skunky Heineken and the dark lager was slightly better, but still not worjth the fact that you have to walk all the way through Ikea and suffer 12 arguments with your other half.

    Do they sell you a homebrew kit and you assemble the beer yourself?

    ... I'm going back to the Southwest forum for that joke.
