Stigbergets Double Headed DDH West Coast IPA (Picked up at Systembolaget in Stockholm). A 3 of 4. If you just drink this blindly, it’s quite good -- lots of tropical fruit and citrus, and a hefty, even slightly creamy body. But it’s not exactly West Coast. Still good, though!

SYSTEMBOLAGET

as requested by @alwaysoutnumberedneveroutgunned

systembolaget is a governmental stock-company that sells alcohol. the legal age for buying alcohol at systembolaget is 20, despite the legal age for drinking in bars and restaurants being 18. the reason for this is that an 18 year old is more likely to have younger friends to illegally buy alcohol for. systembolagets goal is to decrease sale, and not increase. 

they do this by

not having commercials

not luring in customers

not having special offers

no bonus points or bonus clubs

if you ask a person working at systembolaget to help you chose between two drinks they will never tell you to “take both”

they will never recommend you anything that you didn’t yourself ask about

the only thing they will recommend that you didn’t ask for is alcoholfree drinks

they will not sell you you if

you are under 20

you are noticeably drunk

there is reason to suspect that you will sell or give the alcohol to a person under 20

KIVIKS MUSTERI, Skånsk Äppelcider. 7% alcohol The ingredients are apple wine, apple juice, and carbonated water. I already like this. Let's do it! This is fucking AWESOME. A PLUS PLUS PLUS. Not too sweet, really apple-y, nothing else in the way. This is the best thing I've had since I've been in Sweden. Kenneth: "Very refreshing. Really mild, even though it's pretty fucking strong. Much more refreshing than 7% alcohol implies." Henry's grade: A+++ Kenneth's grade: A

Stigbergets Existens Essens Transcendens IPA (Picked up at Systembolaget in Stockholm). A 3 of 4. Smells of stone and tropical fruit, and the body is classic NE hazy in heft. Tasty and packs a lot into 5.9%, but doesn’t exactly stand out among the many, many in this style.

Stockholm Brewing Styles Upon Styles DDH IPA (Picked up at Systembolaget in Stockholm). A 3 of 4. A nice, solid bigger IPA -- mostly West Coast in its pine/citrus hop profile with some tropical fruit behind it. Body is slightly unbalanced with some rough edges and aggressive bitterness.

Monopolet av Måns Wadensjö

Måns Wadensjös roman Monopolet handlar om en ung kvinna, Alice, som jobbar i en Systembolaget-butik. Och faktum är att den nästintill enbart beskriver hennes erfarenheter av just sitt arbete. Det innebär att Monopolet kan betraktas som en tämligen extrem arbetsskildring. Samtidigt skiljer den sig dock på flera sätt från andra samtida arbetsskildringar. För det första: även om Wadensjö ger…
