Norway is chronically expensive. Expect to pay at least thrice the price for a beer in Hemsedal as in the Alps.
The afterski starts in Skistua on the slopes around 4, and continues at Hemsedal Cafe in town from around 7. Be there early to make sure you get in. Probably the best place to party in Norway.
Beer can be bought at the supermarkets on weekdays from 8 a.m to 8 p.m and Saturdays from 8 a.m to 6 p.m. On Sundays it is not allowed to sell alcohol in the supermarkets. Wine and liquor can be bought at the "vinmonopol" wine and liquor store in Gol, 30 km from Hemsedal.
