C: Drinking a Nogne O IPA. Interesting, unexpected. Almost like a cross between a brown ale (more malty and sweet than the locals) and a CA pale ale.Me: Good to hear. The pale ale was surprisingly wonderful so I was hoping for that.C: Still wondering how Norwegians learned how to make good beer when their culinary heritage includes pickled fish assholes.Me: Can I quote that?C: Are there Norwegian terrorists? I don't want to get on their bad side.Me: No they have some fucked up black metal suicide scene but I'm not worried.C: Those folks probably don't also include browsing obscure vulgar American beer blogs among their regular activities, so it's probably not an issue.Me: Yeah. Not having more than 4 hours of darkness is fucked up.C: Probably what drives the fucked up black metal suicide thing.
And so, if you are a Norske-black-metal fan taking offense, please don't kill me or Chris. Then I wouldn't be able to drink beers like this, and that would suck more than a self-mutilation "performance art" show in Norway*.
*For the brave, and strong-stomached... find the clip on youtube of Frost of Satyricon, from the documentary "Until The Light Takes Us".
