WHAT’S ON STOCKHOLM: November 2019

November is that time of the year many regard as dark, but funnily enough, Stockholm gives us many sparkly and enlightened ways to have fun and keep our minds away from the gloomy weather conditions. Such as the Stockholm Film Festivals, where stars of the movie world shine on the red carpets of the city’s cinemas and the light of the projectors on the screens takes us to worlds we have only dreamed of. Stockholm itself also starts glittering, when the streets are dressed with the Christmas decorations. No, this is not a dark time, it’s a time to see the light in different shapes.

Here are some of the glittering events you should not miss this month!

    For them, natural aromas are real ingredients; they want it to taste rhubarb, so they use rhubarb. Easy. But a little more difficult. They brew everything by hand. Hoping in the future to be able to make fun and good things together with like-minded and realize all the ideas we have about drinking. They value the genuine and genuine and want to create something more fun and better than what is available. Look more like a microbrewery than a soda producer.

    NORDIC FAUNA ICE CREAM (On Folkungagatan 136)
    12-21
    Nordic Fauna Ice Cream is a glass factory and an adventure. In an old garage in the forgotten Kräftriket, a stone’s throw from Brunnsviken in Stockholm, they manufacture craft glass in Nordic flavors.
    Glasses to eat straight up and down as they are. Or as little pieces of puzzle, taste stories to go from and on to create something of your own.
    Little like a ice-cream boat without Noak. A journey for all with pleasure and tongue to challenge their own limits. An Adventure in the Far North of Ice Cream!

    Tasting: Champagne for curious

    19/05/2018
    Djurgårdsvägen 38, 115 21 Stockholm, Sweden

    HOW MANY BUBBLES ARE THERE NORMALLY IN A BOTTLE?

    Even though she worked as a waitress and headmaster in restaurants in New York, Eva Karlsson never gets tired of questions about champagne. Not even stupid questions. Some can have interesting answers (49 million bubbles!). So why is champagne white if the grapes are blue? Why do people think champagne tastes better the more expensive it is? And is it any better the more expensive it is? How is it that American rappers only drink Cristal champagne? Why does champagne only grow in the Champagne district? Speaking of the latter question: You will be served genuine champagne. No sparkling wine here. Should it be high class for it to be high grade. Over the years, she has been tired of the excessive focus on the expensive brands. There is actually really nice authentic champagne that does not turn off the entire party budget.

    Eva Karlsson is educated psychodramatic and mental coach. During university studies in France and as a waiter and headmaster in inner restaurants in New York, she acquired unique winning skills. As she now gets an outlet for in her tests at the Spritmuseum. She can be said to have an unpretentious attitude to wine.

    Ticket also grants you access to museum exhibitions. Do not miss the museum’s champagne exhibition. The tasting takes about 90 minutes.

    The museum’s critically acclaimed restaurant offers an extra dish when ordering an entire dinner menu. Limited number of seats. Please provide the tasting’s booking number in the comment field in connection with the table booking. For more information about the restaurant: www.spritmuseum.se/restaurantangen/

    The bar serves simpler dishes before and after the test.
