Via Bryan @ The Brew Lounge - Joe Sixpack | Norway | Winter Solstice

Bryan over at The Brew Lounge passed this along. Thanks Bryan!

Joe Sixpack ran a great story today about Hans Magne Olsen of Norway, the Winter Solstice tradition of brewing juløl and coping with the 24 hours of darkness.

Here in the Northern hemisphere Winter Solstice is upon us. Gradually the sun will rise higher in the sky and spring will return. Until then dream about tasting some juløl to keep you warm on these long winter nights.

Skål!
