I wanted to see two things, if he managed to recreate the book in the same great quality digitally, and if so, how good could an iBook become. The 170 pages book has been turned in to a 563,1 MB download that includes 9 high definition video […] Continue reading →

The website brings user generated information about availability of beers from both Norwegian and foreign microbreweries at popular water holes in Oslo.
