Festival, you say?

Stockholm Beer & Whiskey Festival 2008:
more beer and single malt scotch than you could shake drunk-in-public citation at.
(note: no duplicate beers on this tap)

several hundred single malts from a regional distributor

There were also a dozen or so places to get some unique food. The Asahi guys were rolling sushi to compliment their beer. Most booths had something to snack on that would pair with their beverages. The Aussie reps had set up a kebab place with several exotic meats including alligator and kangaroo in addition to meats of more dubious origins.

Pirate-Burger's largest European competitor

por favor!

Carlsberg's booth had the bar of the future with touchscreen menu. The countertop responded to your empty glass and you could even send for another round or watch tv. Windows opened up and could be manipulated with you five fingers to change the scree or make it bigger.


like Minority Report, but without having to endure Tom Cruise

And of course, what would a beer and whiskey festival be without a little celtic music to accompany the creshendos of breaking glasses and calls for another beer. Oh yeah! A Flogging Molly cover band.
