Barrel Tales - Beer trips

I got a tip from my father about a company that organize beer related trips. Since I hadn't heard of it before I figured it might be a good idea to post it here in case people are interested.

Barrel Tales is owned and run by Oscar Hammar and Peter Kamenko. The company is located in Stockholm. They do trips to both the Czech Republic and to local breweries in Sweden. The trips are sold as a whole package including transports, lodging and entrance fees. However food and drinks are not included as they want to leave it up to the traveler to decide what to drink and eat. They also plan to organize trips to other countries in the future.
At them moment they have two trips planned in the near future. The first one is a trip to the Czech Republic over 4 days. Amongst many other things they plan to stop at Chodovar where you can take that beer bath I wrote about earlier. Traveleres will also be able to brew their own beer and then get it shipped home at cost.

The second trip is to Nynäshamns Ånbryggeri on the 19th of June. People will get a chance to tour the brewery, try some beer and it all ends with a BBQ.

They also have some events planned, I found an Easter beer tasting that they will host in Stockholm.

It's going to be interesting to see what these guys do in the future. I'm personally very intersted in visiting Nynäshamns Ångbryggeri.
