I hope that you can help me out. Today at our Thanksgiving dinner I was asking my Nana about any traditions she remembered growing up with. My Nana is Swedish, and she started describing a drink they would have as children every Christmas eve and New Years eve. She said that her Grandma called the drink "Dricka" and that it was something her Grandma made in a big vat using yeast and some type of evergreen berry. She also said she used root-beer extract and hops.Jag vet inget om hembryggning eller vad han i stort pratar om. Svagdricka? Finsk glögg? Bären måste väl vara enbär? Jag hänvisade till Svenska Hembryggareföreningen, men det kanske är någon här som kan hjälpa denne amerikan. Jag kan i så fall vidarebefordra kontakter.
Immediately I thought "BEER" :) which peaked my interest. She said her grandma was the only one who could make it and has been missing it ever since she was a child. What made me think it was some type of alcohol was that she said they always were pretty silly after drinking the "Dricka". She also described seeing the yeast working, which made me think of a top fermented beer. It would mean so much to her if I could reproduce this here over the holiday time. Is what she was describing the same beer the farmers on the island made? Is this made with root-beer extract?
I have the equipment to home-brew, so I am very anxious to dive in and try to make this, but I have no recipe. Any help would be so greatly appreciated.
[...]Then came Gastro pubs. Great to start with; talented young cooks, without the financial backing to open a restaurant, but with the foresight to serve great home cooking in comfortable surroundings. This however had a backlash, with people trying to serve restaurant food at restaurant prices in bashed up old pubs and the trend set in. These have now almost had their day and great British pubs are rediscovering their roots and getting back to basics.
hi gang, the security team saw the threat tonight while they conducting diagnostics. their move was to continue diagnostics in a safe environment by taking the site down and starting tomorrow morning. This operation is a top to bottom approach by the best specialists I could find. They plan on attacking this as a team first thing tomorrow morning.
The plan this time is a prompt relaunch with guaranteed work.
Thank you to everyone in the community for coming together to bring us back. As we approach 2009, people are talking about change. This was the mantra of RateBeer and Beer Advocate many many years ago and things in the beer world were very different. We are now seeing the fruits of our early labors and the many positive changes in the beer industry we'd hoped for so long ago. These changes have only come about because of people like you all, whose passion has made for monumental worldwide change.
I'm grateful many of you -- some without even a RateBeer account -- have pitched in to help us continue our work. Thank you, Todd, for helping us out. While we've had our superficial differences in the past, deep down we've known we're all in this together.
Thanks for showing what a strong family of committed people we are. It's this kind of spirit that has been instrumental in the success of craft beer and the spirit that keeps me fighting for the cause.
Cheers!

Marc Schuterman, BrillNögne Ö och Dugge har bryggt en öl tillsammans! En Sahti! :) Med strandmalört, massa honung och två enbuskar! 11% blev detta gotteöl på, som kommer till Sverige hyfsat snart.
Jag kan även kommentera att vi har städat sedan magnus serie bilder togs så det ser redan ännu bättre ut. Men fan vad mycket det är kvar.
Efter 12 års frånvaro relanseras äntligen favoriten Falcon Gammelbrygd i en modern version. Det är bryggt av källvatten från Österäng källa, har högklassiga maltsorter och utvald humle och har lagrats sedan augusti och torrhumlats för att utveckla bästa smak och karaktär.Vi får väl se... "modern version"? Jag tror att vi i vår speciella målgrupp nog velat se originalreceptet den här första(?) nya årgången. Längre beskrivning:
Falcon Gammelbrygd är bryggd på källvatten från Österäng källa. Fylligheten och de rostade tonerna kommer från speciellt utvald malt. Aroma- och bitterhumle från södra Tyskland skapar en kryddig och örtig beska som balanseras av blommiga övertoner från Cascadehumlen. Efter lagringen torrhumlas Falcon Gammelbrygd för att aromen ska växa i styrka. Falcon Gammelbrygd bryggs och tappas bara en gång och utkommer i begränsad upplaga (50 000 liter). Alkoholhalt: 5,5 %
Den 22 november kommer Menno Olivier från Holländska bryggeriet De Molen att gästbrygga hos Monks, och tre dagar seanre gästas bryggeriet av Josef Krys som bland annat tidigare varit bryggmästare på Pilsner Urquell. Det finns möjligheter att vara med på dessa bryggningar, kontakta då info@monkscafe.se.
