Greg visits Kjetil, Owner and Brewmaster of Norway's Nøgne-Ø Brewery. Together they head off to a tiny lighthouse island off the coast to fish mackerel, and enjoy Kjetil's tasty beers!
Just stumbled upon this while looking for some brewing videos. Fantastic. I'm an American of Norwegian descent and this certainly makes me homesick for a land I've never seen. Next time you head out there, give me a shout and I'll tag along!
As a Norwegian it's quite interesting to see how you Americans (?) percieve my country. I've never tasted Nøgne Ø beer though, it's too expensive, mainly due to insane taxation by our lousy stinking government. Imagine one bottle costing 6 dollars or more. And the beer that's worthwhile strengthwise is only sold in the state monopoly liquor stores. I hear that it's excellent, though. I brew my own instead. And I've picked up my brew kettle, cooler, malt mill etc while visiting the US!
Bro I have seen these brews in my local beer store and been reluctant to try them. It's stupid but it's becuz of sports. I am a USC fan and that "O" on the bottle reminds me of Oregon which is our rival. :) Stupid huh? But now after seeing your video's I am going to pick it up.
Great video Greg. That view from the top of the lighthouse looks pretty damn cool. Denmark seems to resemble the Upper Peninsula of MI...except with shorter ceilings.

Nice report Greg. I can almost smell the fresh air of that place. Those beers look great. Thanks for the video. Perhaps the brewery tour is up next?
