USE YOUR ILLUSION
Illusion from Moor Brewery. Illusion is inspired by the beer style created in the States known as Imperial Black Ale, or Black IPA. This is brewed at a session strength of 4.5% abv, but retains the unique flavour profile. The special malt is sourced from Germany, and the hops American to create a beer of stunning depth and complexity. The hop aromas and flavours are intense, achieved through a major dose of dry-hopping. The result is a beer that wraps all the wonderful hop profiles of a pale ale inside a silky black exterior. It is truly an Illusion that deceives your eyes and dazzles your tastebuds.
ZODIAK

THE NEXT DAY BEER
Reparationsbajer from To Øl was the Gold Medal Winner at the Stockholm Beer and Whisky Festival. The day after your tour de force in the world of alcohol, where good manners have been thrown over the shoulder, the liver has been punished and the dance floor hasn't looked better since John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, ones physical and mental state need to get in gear for another week of tedious paperwork. You need something to cleanse your tastebuds from the taste of the cheap Tequila. You need something to recover you safely and give you a renewed love and zest for life. In simple terms, you need a really good recovery beer (in Danish "Reparationsbajer") The problem is that there are few perfect recovery beers! Nauseous mass produced lagers are the last thing you want to think about after you have been making a few calls in the great white telephone. This is why To Øl for a long time has had the goal to develop a recipe for the perfect recovery beer. This has resulted in a lot of tough empirical field work combined with a great amount of brewing, the results are clear: the best way to remove you hangover is with a potent Pale Ale with powerful and aromatic American and New Zealand hops combined with a nice round, pleasant and well-balanced malt profile to massage the palate and reinforce the belief that one shall survive another day!
CANNONBALL
From Magic Rock, Cannonball. An India Pale Ale in the true tradition, high in alcohol and massively hopped to survive a sea voyage, let the flavour explode on your palate.
