After the parade we visited Bishops Arms on Vasagatan. We ate a burger each at 50% discount and drank a couple of beers. Since it was Pride week I figured the Rainbow Warrior would be a suiting beer to drink ;)

Närke Rainbow Warrior (Draught) 6,5%
It poured a slightly hazy golden liquid, with a medium sized icream looking foam that left allot of lacing on the side of the glass. The foam stayed around until I had finished the beer and it looked very appealing.

It had a smell of grassy hops, hay, citrus and grapefruit. It also had a hint of something nutty, couldn’t quite put my finger on it.

It tasted very smooth and fresh with grassy hops and some grapefruit. The bitterness was medium to high, but not overwhelming at all which made it easy to drink. A real thirstquencher and I would have loved to try it in the sun. But it worked great in the hot weather as well.
Total: 4/5


Ocean Eko Pale Ale (Draught) 4,5%
It poured a hazy dark golden liquid with a medium icecream looking foam that stayed a long time.
It had a week aroma of gras, wood and smell that I associate to barns. But not the kind you store animals in.

It was very smooth and easy to drink, but also had a thin body. The taste was weak with hints of hay, grass and caramell. It also had a burned and smoky finish.
Total: 3/5

It poured a hazy dark orange-golden liquid with a big foam that stayed a long time and left a nice lacing.

It had a fresh aroma of grasy hops and citrus. Very nice!

Just as the other two beers it was very smooth. It tasted sweet with some caramell and grassy hops. Not as good as it smelled but still nice. Definitely the best beer I’ve had in a can.
Total: 3,6/5

We watched the Pride parade today. It was actually the first time for us since we are usually home visiting the Blues Festival this time of the year. I have to admit that it was allot bigger then I expected. Lots of people and a huge parade that really kept the party going.

There was just one group that brought down the mood, the group (can’t remember their name) that had written a big post on the side of their car: “Hate rich straight white men!” and a bunch of other weird slogans. That group just felt so out of place in this type of environment, counteracting the whole idea. Instead of tolerance, understanding and acceptance, they brought hate, intolerance and prejudice.
But that was the only dark spot in an otherwise great parade, Im definitly coming back and watching it again.
Here’s some pictures:









After the parade we walked from Zinkensdam to Bishops on Vasagatan for dinner and a couple of beers. Why walk so far? Because we had a discount ticket on food :) More about the beer in the next post.
