I picked up this bottle in a shop near Soho but I didn’t really pay
attention to what the place was called, which is a bit annoying. Anyway, Einstök
brew their beers in Akureyri,
northern Iceland. I actually passed through Akureyri a few years ago and
remember it as a pretty unspectacular town in a very spectacular location. We
struggled to find somewhere to eat and ended up paying an exorbitant amount of
money for a hamburger in an American style diner. I digress. There is some
pretty clever branding going on here as I’ve noticed this in several pubs and, let’s
face it, it’s a really cool label. Naturally, I was therefore looking forward
to trying it and thankfully, the beer was not a letdown. It’s a surprisingly
light ale, much lighter than I anticipated, and very crisp and fresh. The
brewery produces three other beers which I will be making an effort to seek
out.
Brewery: Einstök Ölgerð
