Day 23 - Oh Beer!



Oh yes, that's a beer can staved to the fence. 

Frydenlund Brygerrier (Frydenlund Breweries) founded in 1859 was one of the largest breweries in Norway. The brewery, which now houses Høgskolen i Oslo (University College), is about 2 minutes from where I live; and btw the street on which I live is called Frydenlundgata, obviously name after the brewery. Though the Frydenlund brand is still alive, the beer is now brewed by Ringnes Brewery which is owned by the Danish brewery Carlsberg. 

Pilsner or pils as we call it, is a pale lager which claims a 92% market share in the Norwegian market. Though the generic name for beer is "øl" (listen to the pronunciation here), if ordering a lager you just ask for "pils".
