Worst UK Winter in 50 Years

Agree on the beer: The worst beer you do get in Norway - not that its not tasty, but the cost is unbearable. (Btw: Aass and Mack are the best...)

yes those Mack brewery beers are nice, had a look at the brewery when i was in Tromso. i also like the microbrewery in Trondheim - does a range of blonde beers, ambers and even stouts
my Olso colleagues have told me about a microbrewery in Oslo, near Majorstuen or Bogstadveien, which is where I often stay in a Thon hotel, must visit it next time I am in Oslo

in fact here is a pic of me at the Mack brewery - the had a beer on called "5mr Party"

Oslo Mikrobryggeri - Bogstadveien 6 - entrance from Holtegata. Pilsner, steamer, bitter, porter, India Pale Ale, stout and amber.

Tromsø, 1980's, student life: every friday (n sometimes wednsds), start at Mack's Ølhallen (beer-hall), then move on to an establishment with more music and younger girls. Those where the days when there was nothing else to spend money on than beer and cars.

Got a few flakes here. Lots of drifting. I live about 100m higher than the tarmac. Coming down with the help of gravity not too bad.



Coming back up needed some shovel work in a couple of places.
