Oh yes, you get sort of "starter packs" in good stores, where you just have to follow the recipe and you will have beer after a while. I’m sure you can get the same stuff in finland as well.
And yes, hjemmebrent(norwegian) or moonshine if you please, is pure poison
It taste’s like old and unwashed vittu/vitto(or something like that.)Robert: Haha, vittu is correct.. Ill have to go and ask some stores if they have that kind of things. It would be strange if I find that stuff here because i havent heard about anyone who would have brewed his/her own beer…
No doubt some of you knew this already, but it has been scientifically verified…gotta love that kinda research
Guinness mystery finally solved
Tuesday, March 16, 2004 Posted: 0135 GMT (0935 HKT)Surprise! Guinness bubbles really do sink.
LONDON, England (Reuters) — People celebrating St. Patrick’s Day Wednesday can cross one topic of conversation off their lists.
Guinness bubbles really do sink.
Scientists said Monday they had finally proved that the dark stout’s creamy bubbles defy expectations and flow down instead of upwards.
"Our group carried out preliminary experiments at a local pub a few years ago, but the results proved inconclusive," said Dr. Andrew Alexander, from the University of Edinburgh’s School of Chemistry.
They first thought the dark liquid flowing down as a pint was poured gave the illusion the bubbles were going down as well.
Now close examination has revealed that, as a pint settles, bubbles touching the walls of the glass experience drag, similar to that a person feels sliding their finger along glass, and that prevents them floating up.
The bubbles in the middle however, are free to rise, creating a circular flow within the glass that causes bubbles at the edge to be pushed downwards on the inside surface of the glass.
The Edinburgh team, working with researchers at Stanford University in California have produced high-speed video footage of the sinking bubbles — to put at rest the minds of any drinkers who might have felt they were seeing things.
Finally some research that everybody can benefit from and that doesn’t involve CIA and america controlling the world.
Available from July 22nd: our local ‘Governator’ (…well, nearly….
) beer![img]http://www.lindeboom.nl/driefles1.jpg[/img]
Good choice Db, Westmalle is probably one of my favorite beers along with Orval

i heard that governator is fetching a pretty penny on ebay since they were forced to cancell the name.
Gotta love this story, chose the local ale Rainier over Busch Beer, my kind of BEAR…
Bear guzzles 36 beers, passes out at campground
SEATTLE, Washington (Reuters) — A black bear was found passed out at a campground in Washington state recently after guzzling down three dozen cans of a local beer, a campground worker said on Wednesday.
"We noticed a bear sleeping on the common lawn and wondered what was going on until we discovered that there were a lot of beer cans lying around," said Lisa Broxson, a worker at the Baker Lake Resort, 80 miles (129 kilometers) northeast of Seattle.
The hard-drinking bear, estimated to be about two years old, broke into campers’ coolers and, using his claws and teeth to open the cans, swilled down the suds.
It turns out the bear was a bit of a beer sophisticate. He tried a mass-market Busch beer, but switched to Rainier Beer, a local ale, and stuck with it for his drinking binge.
Wildlife agents chased the bear away, but it returned the next day, said Broxson.
They set a trap using as bait some doughnuts, honey and two cans of Rainier Beer. It worked, and the bear was captured for relocation.
