Stockholm

Stockholm is a beer drinking town. Two of the best beer bars you'll ever see are here: Akkurat and Oliver Twist. US imports abound, along with ubiquitous English speakers and herring. It seems every menu includes herring and burgers everywhere you go.




We've tried a bunch of Swedish beers: Nils Oscar, N.O., and Spendrups. Beers are not cheap (8-12$/pint), but you can find high quality.



Oliver Twist had most Swedish beers; Monk's Cafe had a ridiculous number of US beers (more than I've ever seen in the states); Akkurat had Westy for sale, illegal though it may be.





Keeping true to this beerism is hard: When travelling, try to drink beers impossible to find at home; you didn't fly 6,000 miles to drink a beer from your home town.

P.S. Hometown is on the West Coast for me now. I would definitely drink a Saranac in Sweden
