Precis som namnet antyder så har Beer + Burger Store i London har ett tudelat intresse. Det är en butik, bar och restaurang med flertalet ölkranar, och kylen är full av hantverksöl. Dessutom serverar de burgare och roliga sides. Att det även är en löparklubb är låter kanske osannolikt, men det stämmer också. Vi testade deras burgare för första gången på burgarfestivalen National Burger Day 2017, men nu hade vi äntligen vägarna förbi Dalston och kunde besöka en av deras fyra restauranger och äta burgare på plats. Vi valde två olika burgare, Double Cheeseber med orimliga tre köttpuckar med hängmörat kött (ja, det stämmer att dubbelburgaren innehöll trippelt kött), ost, pickles, tärnad rödlök och burgardressing för 14 GBP (180 kronor) och en Bacon Cheeseburger som hade samma ingredienser (förutom baconet) fast ”bara” dubbelt kött för 13 GBP (165 kronor). Till detta beställde vi även Mac Bites, som var friterade bitar av mac & cheese med en kryddstark majonnäsdipp för 6 GBP (75 kronor).

Burgarna kom fint paketerade och såg inbjudande ut. Brödet var mjukt och fint rostat, men den dubbla burgaren med tre köttpuckar fick helt fel proportioner och innehöll alldeles för mycket kött. Och eftersom själva köttet var ganska kompakt och inte särskilt jämnt kryddat så blev det riktigt svårätet och bitvis rejält tråkigt. Baconburgaren var bättre av flera anledningar. Dels så var ration mellan kött och bröd avsevärt bättre, och dels så tillförde baconet en trevligt rökig smak och ett välbehövligt crunch. Mac Bitesen var goda och ganska roliga, men lite dyra i sammanhanget.

Beer + Burger Store serverar en helt okej burgare, men vi önskar att de hade slipat lite på detaljerna så att burgarna lyckades matcha deras coola lokal.

In English

As the name suggests, Beer + Burger Store in London focuses on two things. This shop, bar and restaurant has multiple beer taps, and the fridge is full of craft beers. They also serve burgers and fun sides. The fact that they also host a running club may sound unlikely, but it’s true as well. We tried their burgers for the first time during the burger festival National Burger Day 2017, but now we had finally come to Dalston where we could visit one of their four restaurants. We opted for two different burgers, the Double Cheeseburger with three dry-aged beef patties (yes, the double burger had three patties), cheese, pickles, diced red onions and burger sauce for 14 GBP (17.5 USD) and a Bacon Cheeseburger that had the same ingredients (except for the bacon) but ”only” two patties for 13 GBP (16.5 USD). We also ordered Mac Bites, which were fried pieces of mac & cheese with a spicy mayo dip for 6 GBP (7.5 USD).

The burgers came nicely packaged and looked inviting. The bread was soft and nicely toasted, but the double burger with patties had a really bad beef to bun and contained far too much meat. And since the beef itself was quite compact and not very evenly seasoned, it became difficult to eat and was a bit boring. The bacon burger was better for several reasons. Firstly, the ratios were far superior and secondly, the bacon added a nice smoky flavour and a much-needed crunch. The Mac Bites were good and quite fun, but a bit expensive for what they were.

Beer + Burger Store serve a decent burger, but we wish they would work on the details in order for the burgers to match their cool vibe.

Vi har gjort ett återbesök på Beer + Burger Store och anser att de har sänkt kvaliteten jämfört med våra tidigare besök. Vi har därför sänkt betyget från 4/5 till 3/5.

Recension från 15 januari 2018

Recension skriven av John Wästerlund

Beer + Burger är en Londonbaserad restaurang vars namn skvallrar om deras fokus. Utöver burgarna har de nämligen 20 ölkranar och hundratals andra öl på flaska. Vad som inte nämns är att de dessutom har en löparklubb, men vi gissar att namnet hade nog blivit lite långt.

Burgaren som vi testade på National Burger Day 2017 hette ”Double Double”. Den var som namnet antyder en burgare med dubbla köttpuckar och dubbel ost. Puckarna var gjorda med Angus-nötkött som hängmörats i 36 dagar, vilket gav dem en riktigt god smak. De andra tillbehören var sallad, rödlök, inlagd gurka, lönnsirapsglacerad bacon och vad som kallas ”goop”. Baconet hade en god och subtil smak av lönnsirap, men med en sötma som inte tog över. Och ”goop” visade sig vara deras variant av en hamburgerdressing. Den var god, men denna gatuköksliknande enkelhet passade inte så bra med de andra komponenterna.

Det var rätt svårt att sätta betyg på Beer + Burger medan vi åt den. Köttet och brödet höll hög kvalitet, men kombinationen av smaker från dressingen, osten och salladen kändes som tagen från fick oss att tänka på det lokala gatuköket. Men efter ett tag, när vi hämtat oss från den långa burgarfestivalen så kände vi att kvaliteten på ingredienserna snarare gav oss en tillräckligt härlig nostalgikänsla för ett högre betyg.

Beer + Burger is a restaurant in London where the focus seems to be in the same order as their name, having 20 beer taps and hundreds of bottles on site. The burger we tried at National Burger Day 2017 was one called ”Double Double”, and was a cheeseburger with double meat patties and double cheese. The meat came from a 36 days aged Black Angus beef with a great meaty flavour. The other toppings were shredded white cabbage, red onion, pickles, maple bacon and ”goop”. The bacon had a subtle taste of maple without being overly sweet, and ”goop” was their take on a classic burger dressing. The combination of flavours felt a bit out of place – like finding a gourmet burger from a run-down fast food kiosk – but the high quality of all the components created a nice and nostalgic feeling.

🇸🇪 Burger House Homemade ★☆☆☆☆

Burger House Homemade is located right by the E18 outside Kristinehamn and is hard to miss from the road. The restaurant is decorated like a colourful American 1950s diner, with a large menu where the burgers come in several sizes. The prices were steep, with a burger containing 120 grams of beef costing 189 SEK (20 USD) and a 200-gram version a whopping 289 SEK (31 USD), meaning an extra 100 SEK (11 USD) for just 80 grams more beef. However, we struggled to find a burger where the ingredients felt thoughtfully put together. In the end, we ordered a Cheeseburger with 200 grams of beef, double cheddar, caramelised onions, tomato, lettuce, pickles and burger sauce. Fries were included, but with a soft drink the final bill came to well over 300 SEK (32 USD).

The burger was sloppily assembled and covered in sauce when it arrived. The two smashed patties, made from Swedish chuck, had a lightly grilled flavour, but they’d been pressed too hard and had a compact, chewy texture. The beef was also oversalted and tasted really dull. In contrast, the burger sauce, onions and, strangely enough, even the pickles were very sweet, and none of the flavours worked particularly well together. The lettuce had been placed underneath the beef, where the heat had turned it translucent and limp. The sesame bun had been coloured yellow with turmeric and grilled hard on the outside in a sandwich press, while the inside was left almost completely untoasted. This made it soggy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The result was a messy burger with poorly handled beef at an outrageously high price. The fries were at least okay and the portion was very filling, but that was the only positive part of the meal.

Burger House Homemade felt more like a trap for hungry motorists than a craft burger place with homemade burgers, and we found nothing that justified the unreasonably high prices. We recommend holding out a little longer and finding something tastier and better value further down the road if you’re craving a burger on your journey.

🍔 Review № 1407

🇸🇪 @rollinbistrosbackyard ★★★★☆

Rollin Bistros started out as a food truck in 2014 and opened their Backyard in Gamlestaden, Gothenburg, in 2020, which we visited shortly afterwards. Since 2024, they’ve also served our favourite burger in Gothenburg. One thing that’s consistent at Rollin Bistros is the craftsmanship, which was evident in both the food and the huge yet intimate venue. During our latest visit, we ordered two burgers: a double Classic Cheese with two smashed patties, cheddar, white onions, dill pickles and burger sauce for 220 SEK (22 USD), as well as the bistro-style Home Run with just one thick beef patty and cheese for 195 SEK (19.5 USD). We also ordered a portion of teriyaki onion rings for 95 SEK (9.5 USD).

It’s always a bold move to serve a burger with just beef, bun and cheese, but the Home Run really let the ingredients shine. The thick beef patty was juicy, with a slightly pink centre and a nice crust. It tasted really good in all its simplicity, although the meat had been salted a little too heavily. The bun from a local bakery was airy, held together well and had a buttery richness that we appreciated. The smashed cheeseburger also had tasty beef, and although it was naturally more well-done, it was still juicy. The cheese was creamy, the onions added a nice texture and the burger sauce was like a more grown-up and mature version of a classic burger sauce. The problem here was their pickles, which were a bit floppy since they were made with regular cucumbers, with a sharp flavour that reminded us more of a Swedish crayfish party than a burger. As always, the star of the menu was their sides, something they’ve never failed at. The onion rings were crispy and served with an addictive teriyaki ripple and an equally fantastic MSG mayo. The soft serve ice-cream also impressed, with interesting toppings such as foie gras and caramel sauce for 115 SEK (11.5 USD) as well as yuzu, toasted sesame seeds and crispy meringues for 75 SEK (7.5 USD).

Rollin Bistros keep flying the flag high on Gothenburg’s burger scene, and we also recommend a visit to Gamlestaden for the sides, desserts and service.
