Having fully enjoyed Kjetil Jikiun's Dark Horizon #2, it's clear that Grimstad, Norway's got it going on. Nøgne Ø calls itself Det Kompromissløse Bryggeri - "the uncompromising brewery," so I reckon that requires a comprehensive study of their produce. Almost comprehensive, anyways - everything I could find. Hopefully I can get to at least a couple of these per week!
From left to right:
- Dugges Sahti (24 IBU, 11% abv) - unhopped Finnish style of beer, brewed with, amongst other things, "Sea Wormwood" and heather flowers.
- Sunturnbrew (26°P, 50 IBU, 11% abv) - the Ø's tribute to the Winter Solstice, to be consumed tomorrow.
- #100 (23.5°P, 80 IBU, 10% abv) - the Ø's 100th batch, in barley-wine style.
- Imperial Stout (23°P, 75 IBU, 9% abv) - Tsarist nightcap.
- Tiger Tripel (21°P, 35 IBU, 9% abv) - an Abbey-style Triple.
- Special Holiday Brew (22°P, 50 IBU, 8.5% abv) - the Norwegian release of this collaborative effort between the Ø, Stone Brewing, and Jolly Pumpkin.
- Winter Ale (19°P, 30 IBU, 8.5% abv) - a dark Christmas ale... not dark Christmas, dark ale...
- Tyttebær (8% abv) - a joint effort with Denmark's Mikkeller, a wild yeast sour beer brewed with wild tyttebær (mountain cranberries.) Described as "feral"...
- Toshi (19°P, 100 IBU, 8% abv ) - a double IPA brewed in collaboration with Toshi Ishii of Nagano's Yo-Ho Brewing.
- Porter (16.5° P, 30 IBU, 7% abv) - a dark ale, recommended with cheese???
- Brown Ale (11°P, 27 IBU, 4.5% abv) - an English 'pub-grub' style ale.
- India Pale Ale (17.5° P, 60 IBU, 7.5% abv) - not my favorite style, but "all in the name of science..."
- Saison (14°P, 25 IBU, 6.5% abv) - a Wallonian-styled thirst quencher.
- Peculiar Yule (15°P, 30 IBU, 6.5% abv) - allegedly inspired by gløgg!
- Pale Ale (14°P, 40 IBU, 6.0% abv) - they say this is their "all-rounder."
