Jacobs på Holtet

Updated 29 April 2016; some years after becoming part of the Meny chain the beer selection is no longer very special. Mostly what you can find in other Menys around the country Good selection of Norwegian beers below 4,75%. Not only the large industrial brewers

Oslos best grocery store - also with special beers

An incredible store with lots of quality food. The beer selection is far beyond most Norwegian grocery stores. The regular local mircobrews are all there (Nøgne Ø, Haandbryggeriet, Kinn, Ægir, Lervig), and also many foreign beers. A bit expensive.

omtrent håpløst å få pakert der, og fullstendig stappfullt på innsiden også - egentlig rene marerittet - men når en fikk syn på ølutvalget var alt dette glemt - sånn burde det være i enhver norsk butikk mmmmm

Probably the food store with the best selection in Oslo. They have about 25.000 different products available, and that is way above Norwegian standard (Regular supermarkeds in Norway have around 10.000 different products). Most of these are of course not beer, but they might have Oslo’s largest selection of beer below 4,75% (abv.), probably in competition with Centra Colosseum (at Majorstua).

A quality food store which of course also has a good beer selection. Due to the 4,7% abv regulations it’s not possible to have what i like to call a good selection, but there still is quite a nice range of beers in their selection. They have all the regulars from NØ, HB, Ægir, Berentsen and Lervig. Also alot of scottish and tzheck stuff. Also some unusual belgian fruit beers and germans. Though, it’s quite expensive

Located at Nordstrand, this is widely regarded as he most comprehensive quality food store in Norway. Given the 4,7% ABV limitation that apply to all stores in the nation (but the Wine monopoly), I found even the beer selection to be pretty good (and well worth a listing on Ratebeer) - both international and domestic brews decently represented. I would probably have stacked up significantly for my trip back home, had I not already been to Vika Vinmonopol.
