This may be hard to believe, but Stavanger once was known as the pre-eminent teetotaling city of Norway. Nowadays, more than 200 alcohol liquor licenses are kept current. What a difference a century makes! Your mission today is to learn all about local beer, from mead to spice beers, from herbs to hops, and from wild yeast to the cultured kind.
Strolling through the cobblestone streets of Stavanger's Old Town with a local guide who loves to share stories from the old days about beer and the "Purity" law.
Pause at a pub established in 1985. This fine establishment boasts a range of 550 beers, 24 of which are on tap, and one in its cask. RateBeer ranks it among the Top 50 Places for Beer in the World, and the New York Times has chosen it as one of its Top 50 Places to Go.
End your outing with a sample of the region's "trending now" beers .
