Vigrum Modern Lager - Kosta Bryggeri Modern English - ep596
what's on tap podcast
We're keeping it Swedish with a couple of fun new beers. Vigrum Bryggeri is a new one for us. We got our hands on a bottle of Modern Lager. This IPL comes in at 6% and blends the lager with a slightly hoppy finish. We're looking forward to trying more from Vigrum Bryggeri. Kosta Bryggeri is also new to us. We decided on the Modern English, a 5.8% English IPA. While it didn't blow us away, it a good beer. We're always excited to try new breweries and find new local beers to try. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #ipl #indiapalelager #englishIPA #ipa

Brouwerij de Manskerel Manskerel Quad Barrel Aged - Big Belly Liquid Desserts 30 - ep595
what's on tap podcast
Martin took a little trip to Breda, Netherlands. He was able to collect a few beers while he was there to bring back with him. Breda is a small little down just north of the Belgian boarder and has a suprising number of quality beer bars. The first beer we get to try is from Brouwerij de Manskerel Manskerel Quad Barrel Aged. This barrel aged Belgian quadrupel was aged in rum barrels for 12 months. Sadly, it's really missing the big rum punch we were expecting. Big Belly Brewery Liquid Desserts 30 is a 2 year barrel blend sticky Mexican coffee cake stout with nuts. It's the last in the series...

Hyllie Bryggeri Devilish - PomPom Cider Chokladboll - ep594
what's on tap podcast
Sometimes we like to go exploring in Systembolaget. We found a couple of interesting beers to review. Hyllie has been really working the larger, pils and IPA game really well. Some of their other traditional attempts have been just a little off the mark. Devilish is a Belgian strong golden ale that really nails the style. We were blown away by how good it is. We would put it up against any Belgian brewed version. Next up is something best left on the shelf. PomPom Cider Chokladboll is a pear cider with the flavor of Swedish Chokladboll, chocolate and coconut. Oddly enough, they kind of...

Poppels Barrel Aged Barley Wine - Rhum Bourbon Rum Stout - ep593
what's on tap podcast
Poppels is one of the larger independent breweries in Sweden. They have released some special barrel aged beers. Barrel Aged Barley Wine - Cognac, Rhum and Port is a 13.5% ABV barrel aged monster. It really packs a mouthful of flavor. Rhum Bourbon Rum Stout contains rhum, rum and bourbon. What's the difference between rhum and rum? You'll have to listen to find out. These two beers are too big for the two of us. We had to call in Marcus and Pontus to help. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #poppels #barleywine #imperialstout #barrelaged

Malmö Meadery Guava Mead - Founders French Toast Bastard - ep592
what's on tap podcast
We got some fun beers to try this episode. Malmö Meadery has been producing some really good meads for a few years now. They have been releasing single fruit meads have been pretty good. Martin knows how much Stefan loves guava so of course he brought Exclusive - Guava Mead. Not sure guava needs to be made into a mead but here it is. Founders Brewing has been releasing variants of Backwoods Bastard. French Toast Bastard is a bourbon barrel-aged scotch ale with maple, cinnamon and vanilla. It's a lot of french toast bourbon goodness. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #mead #scotchale #weeheavy...

Vreta Kloster Bryggeri St Lars 13 - Electric Nurse Angry Moose - ep591
what's on tap podcast
Getting Swedish again with two really fun local breweries. Vreta Kloster Bryggeri continues to pump out really good traditional Belgian styles. St Lars 13 is a Belgian quadrupel made to celebratet the 15 anniversary of DeKlomp in Linköping. They are really killing these traditional styles. Electric Nurse Angry Moose is an imperial stout that is your basic imperial stout. No extras here, just roasted malty goodness. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #imperialstout #belgianquad

Gamma Fano Fruit Suit - Williams Bros Che Guava Radical Lager - ep590
what's on tap podcast
Getting back into some low ABV beers again. Danish brewers Gamma and Fano Bryghus teamed up to create what some call a shandy, others call a radler. We call it Fruit Suit. This clocks in at a 2.7% ABV and blends grapefruit and orange into a tasty mix. Because Martin likes to watch Stefan recoil in horror, he didn't hesitate to bring a guava beer. Scotish brewery Williams Bros released Che Guava Radical Lager. It's a 3.5% ABV gluten-free lager with lots of guava. Decisions were made...we aren't sure why. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #lowabvbeer #shandy #radler #lager

To Ol Goliat - Goliat Cognac Barrels - ep589
what's on tap podcast
You know we love Danish brewers To Ol. We haven't seen much of them lately, which is a shame. Systembolaget recently got two versions of Goliat, regular and cognac. You know we can't pass up a chance to do a side-by-side comparison. Goliat is an imperial stout with coffee and raw cane sugar. Just a classic combo of base imperial stout goodness. Really a prime example of what a base stout should be. Comparing that to Goliat Cognac Barrels, which has been aged on cognac barrels for 15 months, brings a whole new flavor profile. It's always amazing how a little change can take the same beer and...

Dugges En Svagare Öl - Pohjala Prenzlauer 0 - ep588
what's on tap podcast
Another week, another episode. Now that spring is arriving, we're moving away from heavy stouts and barleywines and into light and dare I say it...low ABV beers. A few years ago low ABV was a disgrace. These days every brewery is putting out several low ABV beers with lots of styles and options. Dugges En Svagare Öl is a 3.5% NEIPA. That's a dangerous style to do low ABV. Fortunalty Dugges does a pretty good job with this one. Pohjala Prenzlauer 0 is a 0.5% ABV sour. Made with raspberries, it really hits the spot. We will review more low ABV beers in the future and hope see more breweries...

Beerblioket Cherry Almond Pie Surprise - Stigbergets Stig Noir - ep587
what's on tap podcast
We've been trying a lot of traditional beer styles recently. This episode we wanted to get a little off the beaten path with something different. Beerblioket Cherry Almond Pie Surprise is a cherry and almond sour ale. The surprising part is how little it tastes like cherry and almonds. Next up is Stigbergets Stig Noir. Now we're not huge fans of black IPAs. Every once in a while we'll try one to see if anyone has figured out how to do it right. Stig Noir is better than most but still doesn't quite get there. We're also joined by Frosty Beard Marcus and Pontificating Pontus. You things will get...
