Just when I was dissing the monopoly, a guy at Handverkersteune told me about this place. Head and shoulders above othe Vinmonopolets that I visited, although still not comparable to average beer stores in other countries. This one did have a solid selection of Aegir, Haand, a hald dozen deMolen, a couple of sours from Mikkeller and the usual American sudpects you can find in bars. Worth a look.

Yet another tricky to find joint in Oslo. This one is tucked away in the mall at the end of Ruslokkeveien. Go inside and go downstairs and through. A decent selection of beers here - nothing like an Utobeer or anything like that but decent given that this is mainly a wine shop. A picked a few beers and a nice chap asked me if he could help and we had a brief chat. He knew what he was selling allright. Sounding like a broken record but I don’t care - prices are very very expensive. I would say 3 to 4 times of the UK. Still if you are in Oslo this is well worth the detour.

The best selection in Oslo

Best bottle shop in Norway. Alot of special beers arriving almost monthly.

Far better selection than your average vinmonopol, and the beers come and go all the time. I visited this store today, a few weeks since my last visit, and the selection was completely different (apart from the regulars from Nøgne Ø, Haandbryggeriet etc). The service is a bit variable: some are eager to help, while the guy I talked to today couldn’t care less.

One of the two "special-vinmonopol" we have in this country. That meaning there often are quite a lot of interesting gems here. The prices are as good as you get in Norway (not good) but that’s just the way it is. Undoubtedly a must if you are in Oslo and interested in purchasing some bottles-to-go.

A selection of beer that should be standard at every vinmonopol. But they have mostly som rare and expencive bottles

14.10.2011. Thismust be my favourite vinmonopol! This is one of few outlets with a special very good selection of different beers, both from Norway and from abroad. Very helpful and skilled people working there. This is a "must visit" in Oslo!

The Vinmonopol to visit when in Oslo. One of two "special" stores in Norway, these shops carry a bigger selection of beers, also small imported test batches ends up here. The staff could be more educated and interested in beers, but overall, a nice experience.

Exceptional selection of beers above 4,7%. Definately the best selection of (strong) beer in Oslo. The sortiment may vary, but there is usually something interesting there. The "special" beer is not listed in the lists of "Vinmonopolet", you have to go there to see what they have...
