<div><strong>This week's issue of The Beer Coasters Podcast is brought to you by Malt Porter and The Swedish Beer Geek Clan.</strong></div>
<div>So, we've been on our craft beer <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/beercoasterspod.614466686">World Tour</a> for five weeks now and it's brought us to Sweden, the land of <a href="http://www.swedishbikiniteam.com/">Bikini Teams</a>, a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Swedish-Chef/12320736665">Chef</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY_Yf4zz-yo">meatballs</a>, <a href="http://www.candy4u.com/swedishfish.html">Fish</a> and <a href="http://www.ikeahackers.net/">Ikea</a>. Well, at least that's what us ignorant Americans know of this great country. Now, on to the beer. &nbsp;Like previously noted, we are drinking Swedish beers that were donated to us by our good friend, Malt Porter. &nbsp;Mohawk Brewing and the <a href="http://www.mohawkbrewing.com/">Snowblind Strong Ale</a> is the first all three Beer Coasters will try(yes, Chris is back) with the Slottsk&auml;llans <a href="http://slottskallan.se/?page_id=8">Imperial Stout</a> following close behind. &nbsp;We hope you've had as much fun as we've had during our European Vacation. &nbsp;Thanks again to Malt Porter and The Swedish Beer Geek Clan for all the strong support. &nbsp;Sk&aring;l!</div>
