gose

We got a little crazy this episode. Martin found a classic bottle from Brekeriet, back when they only released 750 ml bottles in foreign webshops. Now you can find loads of their amazing beers in Systembolaget. Back in 2015 you could only get a a few like Sour & Salt. The fresh bottles are lightly tart with a nice saltiness. This hasn't aged as well as we had hoped. It was fun to try. Stefan brought a bottle from a new brewery from Smedsbo. Smedsbo Slott released Salzstout 2023. This implies an annual release but this is the first year of the beer. Coming in at 12.5% abv, it has salty liquorice note with a deep roast base. It's fun fine from an up and coming brewery.

We've seen quite a few fruit beers in the Swedish beer scene. Friends and Duckpond have been leading the way for the rest of Sweden to follow. Friends Sunny Berry Smooje is a gose with strawberry, raspberry, lemon and vanilla. Tart, sweet and a lot of fun to drink. Friends continues to experiment and bring out lots of great sour fruit beers. Duckpond has released a really odd beer. We've had lots of banana beers in the past, but they are usually a stout. A banana gose is a new one for us. Nik Gose Bananas is a gose with bananas and vanilla. It's a wild beer and we're glad we go to try it even if we didn't find it entirely successful.
