No good swedish beers. Outside of Denmark the only quality nordic beer is Lapin Kulta.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

There has to be *something* decent made somewhere in Sweden.

:cry:  What happened to you guys.  Beermaking should come naturally to you nordic types.

No towns with rights in scandinavia. So no breweries. The towns that were were small so no need for a proper brewery. The tradition in scandinavia is home brewing. Scandinavia has a torrid history with alcohol monopolies and prohibition which led the people away from drinking beer to getting monstrously drunk on spirits instead.

I think we in the US should also have a National Day of Sweden, where we all celebrate by acting out some Swede stereotype.
Let's start by having a decent social safety net.

Like the proverbial "dumb Swede" archetype?

Myyyyyyy name is Yon Yonson
I come from Wisconsin
I works in da lumber yard der
Every girl dat I meet
When I walk downs de street
Says "What's your name?"
And I tells 'er: Myyyyyy name is Yon Yonson...

So it goes...
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

For the record I have yet to drink a danish beer that's better than water out of a puddle in the street.

I've always liked Elephant, particularly when ours was made in Denmark and not Canada.
