Systembolaget Karlstad - Drottninggatan

A quite fine and decent bottle shop for beer in my opinion I found a lot of local and international beer I had not tried before Located inside a big shopping mall in the city center 5 min walk from the train station

This store has a shelf with "limited selection" foreign craft beers. You never now what to find, but I was happy to grab a bottle Evil Twin Femme Fatale Yuzu Pale. And of course, you will find bottles from local breweries as Wermlands and Grythyttans. (Visited July 23rd 2014)

Not bad, but as all Systembolaget stores, it’s filled with uninteresting pale lagers from the Swedish macros. Off course they’re interesting for the ticking part of the hobby, but that’s it. A decent selection of rather mainstream international ales and a few really interesting ones always show up at the medium sized stores like this one. Brooklyner-Schneider Hopfen-Weizen was certainly the most interesting find.

Well, it’s Systembolaget. The place I buy most of my beers, especially in the beggining of the month when they have "temporary news". Good thing is that you can order beers from their central-stockroom or some other store in Sweden if they don’t have it.
