Yes! Selling alcohol is very strict regulated. You can buy beer in a grocery store from 08 - 20 o'clock and on Saturdays from 08 - 18 o'clock. If you want to buy wine or liquor you need to find a so called "Vinmonopolet", it is the only shop where you can buy alcohol wich contains more then 4,7% of alcohol.

What is the best beer of Norway?

Well, buy local! We cheer for Mack. It might not be the best of Norway, but it is made close to Tromsø and you have a big selection of beer variations. If we have a beer, we go for the type called Fatøl, Isbjørn or Arctic. Cheers :)
