Rekorderlig winter forest bar
East London's Truman Brewery is transformed into an enchanting Swedish woodland.
by Cajsa Carlson
"Surrounded by pine and birch trees taken from a private estate, guests enjoy cocktails such as Svensk Mojito (Swedish Mojito,) Warm Äppelpaj (Hot Apple Pie) and Winter Collins. Food comes from Scandinavian chefs Norse by Norsewest—of Disappearing Dining Club fame—in small taster portions, with Swedish classics such as herring and meatballs conjuring thoughts of long northern nights."

Brewery creates world's strongest beer
From Orange: A Scottish brewery claims to have created the world's strongest beer - a 65% alcohol drink called Armageddon.
And it is proving so popular that there is a two-week wait for delivery - despite the £40 price tag for a single 330ml bottle.
Created by Scottish firm Brewmeister, the beer is made from crystal malt, wheat and flaked oats and is freeze fermented to bring it to the required ABV.
A pint of the beer contains an alarming 37 units of alcohol - twice the recommended weekly intake for a man.
Brewmeister says the beer should be 'consumed like a fine whisky'.
A spokesman said: "Despite being 65%, the beer has a lot of flavour - malty, hoppy, slightly sweet and lots of yeast still in the beer.
"Be careful though, smelling it is probably enough to put you over the limit!"

From Science Daily: The new study, led by paleontologists Darla Zelenitsky from the University of Calgary and François Therrien from the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology, describes the first ornithomimid specimens preserved with feathers, recovered from 75 million-year-old rocks in the badlands of Alberta, Canada.
"This is a really exciting discovery as it represents the first feathered dinosaur specimens found in the Western Hemisphere," says Zelenitsky, assistant professor at the University of Calgary and lead author of the study. "Furthermore, despite the many ornithomimid skeletons known, these specimens are also the first to reveal that ornithomimids were covered in feathers, like several other groups of theropod dinosaurs."
