Oslo Microbrewery

Own brewery

Bogstadveien 6
Oslo 0355
Norway
+47 22 56 9776
http://www.mikrobryggeriet.no

At a first glance, Oslo Mikrobryggeri seems a very regular pub, with all the regular stuff, brown tables, chairs, the compulsory brass corners, some pictures and people of different ages having a good time. The micro brewery's own beer is produced in its tiny brewery in the cellar, and the quality is very good. Be aware that the level of alcohol is a bit more aggressive in this than in most other Norwegian beers. Oslo Mikrobryggeri is not located on Bogstadveien as its address states, but on one of its side streets. It is easy to find once you are aware of this.

StensParken

Park and panorama Pilestredet,/Sporveisgaten
Oslo 0354
Norway
Another beautiful park inside central Oslo, this park has had many names. Stensparken comes from old Sten or Stein farm, closed down in the 1600s. On the north side of Stensparken is Blåsten, a small, natural environment and a paradise for adventurous children. Stensparken offers the usual pleasures of a park: a lovely place for having a picnic or for sunbathing on warm summer days. In the neighbourhood there are two streets with lots of very charming, mostly wooden buildings, bigger and more "castle-like" than those at Kampen, Rodeløkka or Damstredet (some other streets with old houses in Oslo). Look for Lyder Sagens gate and Aage Wolffs gate. Fagerborg Church is inside the park, close to a sculpture of famous Norwegian writer Sigrid Undset.
