My husband just received his first home brew kit for his birthday. We got him an irish stout reciepe. I can't wait til he makes some.

Helen Troy said:And Smithy, since you are in Trondheim and has developed a taste for the local beer: There is a local micro brewery called Trondhjem Mikrobryggeri that you might like to check out. They have a bar in Prinsens Gate 39 I think. I have heard a lot of good things about their beer, allthough it varies with the seasons or something.
I'm not completely sure, but I thought it was "bitter and twisted." But that could be the name of the beer, the brand could be something else. The bottle had a mouse on it, and a cute little story about the brewery's mouse becoming a mascot. (Eeek, how un-hygenic!)Smithy said:Was that Scottish beer you mentioned, "Twisted Thistle"? Certainly fits your description, very refreshing IPA.

Smithy said:I'm going to make you jealous here alphy but a lot of the pubs back in my home (and BT's for that matter) in Auckland, NZ carry Leffe beers. My old local carried both Brune and Blond in bottles but there were a number of Belgian bars and some normal pubs which had it on tap. Actually anyone in Auckland who is hungry should visit The Occidental pub in Vulcan Lane (the "Poxy Oxy") and have a glass of Leffe and a plate of the Belgian bangers and mash. Good stuff and guaranteed to fill you up.
Just out of interest, why have all the booze threads been put in the Golden Era section? Any particular reason? It seems to me they were more Observation Bar material rather than being specifically concerned with a discussion about alcohol in the Golden Era (they all seemed to be "what's your favourite...".
