Hello all I'll be in Bergen later this week and then Oslo from Monday and was wondering where will be my best bet to get my hands on beers (bottle and tap) by HaandBryggeriet? And if I have $$ and time for one bar in Bergen and one in Oslo where should I head? I'm mainly interested in Norwegian crafts brews. Nogne O, Lervig etc. We're in Stavanger tonight and heading off to Cardinal! Thanks for any advice! Clint.
Enjoy your travels in Norway! I was in Oslo this past November and although locals can give much better information than I can, I can recommend two places to go to if you're interested in Haandbryggeriet bottles and tap. For bottles, your best bet is the Vinmonopolet in downtown Oslo right next to the harbor. They have a solid selection of Norwegian and other Scandinavian beer at not entirely insane prices. For an awesome tap list. You should hit up Crow Bar for some great Norwegian beer and the occasional US guest tap. Writing from my phone right now or I would send you more info, but there's also a thread in this forum where someone outlined some other options in Oslo for me. A quick search of this forum will reveal that thread. Enjoy your trip and best of luck! Cheers
Here was my post and the advice given to me for my trip. I found it very useful! Cheers http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/beer-in-norway.123792/
If you want great beer, great atmosphere, and great food go here. It was my home away from the US in 2012. http://www.hvks.no/
