Beer Palace, Oslo and local brewery

What a coincidence, nipped into the Beer Palace (local bar) last night for a quick gin after the traumas of running the gauntlet in the supermarket and up on the wall was this old tin poster for a local brewery. It looked familiar..

Christiania Bryggeri (brewery), what a fantastic old sign, I love the font and colours in fact, decided to have another gin just to celebrate.

According to Wiki:

Christiania/Oslo

Founded around 1048 by King Harald III of Norway, the city was largely destroyed by fire in 1624. The city was moved under the reign of Denmark–Norway's King Christian IV. It was rebuilt closer to Akershus Castle, as Christiania (also spelt Kristiania in late 1800's). In 1925, the city reclaimed its original Norwegian name, Oslo
