    Cheers BA!
    Leaving later in the week to spend some time in Stockholm, then up to Tromso, Stokmarknes, and Oslo. Looking for any must not miss breweries and/or bottle shops while visiting. I see Omnipollo and Mikkeller have locations nearby the Airbnb in Stockholm. BA stouts are my go to.

    For bottle shops, both Norway and Sweden have state monopolies for all alcohol above respectively 4,7 and 3,5 % ABV, so www.vinmonopolet.no and www.systembolaget.se are your best bets. "øl" (Nor) and "öl" (Swe) are the terms for beer, and for both countries it is possible to order goods for delivery to local monopolies.
    From what I recall, the best Systembolaget for beer in Stockholm is PK-huset, the best beer-Vinmonopolet in Tromsø is Langnes, whilst in Oslo, there are three beer-centered ones: Oslo City, Aker Brygge and Storo.
    All the best beer bars in both Tromsø and Oslo (probably Stockholm as well) are verified venues on Untappd, and I would say that it is mostly a matter of taste which ones in Oslo are not to be missed. The "BA stouts"-comment suggests that you might like Brewgata, though.
