Our biggest Tap Takeover yet. 14 Taps at Bishops Arms Hornsgatan.

A “smaller” Tap Takeover with us and Mikrofonbryggeriet is on this coming Thursday 25 May. Henrik, or rather Sally our Salesman, will be on site in Stockholm mingling during the evening and it promises to be epic. Do not miss this!!

We’re open again for the public as a pub on Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Doors open Friday 17-21, Saturday 14-19 and Sunday 12-19. Sunday is Megaloppis in Majorna, which you can read about further down.

At our Tap Room, there’s no bookings required, just show up with your family, friends, babies and dogs. Everyone is welcome. We sell a tastings of any available beer for 35kr each or you can buy a ten-card for 320kr. As always we will have ten beers available. Four on tap and six in the fridge.

Our outdoor serving area starts getting sun at around 15h00, and it only get sunnier after that, so don’t miss out on this weekend’s premiere. It’s going to be packed 🙂

This weekend we will again be offering pizzas from our local Pizzeria Götas. There’s nine pizzas to choose from and you pay at the bar and delivery is in around 30 minutes to the Tap Room. Both Fridays and Saturdays, so you’ll never have to go hungry again while drinking beer at our Tap Room.

It’s party time. Megaloppis in Majorna.

Hello Edinburgh. We’re heading your way.

This year for the first time we’ve been invited to the Edinburgh Craft Beer Festival 2017 on the 26th – 28th May, at The Biscuit Factory. Richard will be heading over to make some new friends and we’re sure get up to some mischief with some old friends. Come by and say hi.

“The world class beer festival that Edinburgh deserves is here; a celebration of passion, creativity and quality in brewing. Over the last May Bank Holiday weekend, we’re bringing together a specially curated, global gathering of the world’s finest breweries in a one-off festival. The Biscuit Factory – a vast, impressive warehouse –  will play host to this gathering, and we’ll be filling its cavernous industrial spaces with only the most sought after beers and brewers.

This is no normal beer festival. One ticket gives you freedom to discover all the best breweries and beers under one festival roof. No tokens. No hassle, no queues, just good times exploring the hundreds of super special beers being poured.  Beyond that, culinary tour de force, The Pitt, Edinburgh’s best street food market, will create a one-off menu. Lastly, we’ll be putting on live music and DJs from Edinburgh’s best talent.”

And if the news is anything to go by, then Scotland is the place to be. Read more…

A global gathering of quality beer.

A new black beer. No Style without Substance.

A new style of beer has been emerging from the breweries of the Pacific Northwest of the US. Dark like a Porter, but hoppy like an IPA. Some call it a Cascadian Dark Ale. Others call it a Black IPA. The jury is very much still in recess.

We’ve done Black IPAs before, our last one being Sabotage, our collaboration with O|O Brewing. This one we decided to call a Cascadian Dark Ale, or rather Imperial Cascadian Dark Ale. Here’s a quote from an article about this specific style.

“Variety is the spice of life. For hundreds of years, wine drinkers have enjoyed many different wine varieties and a vast array of vintages. Beer aficionados, especially those in the US, have not been so lucky. It has only been since the late 70s and early 80s that a wider variety of beer styles have become readily available. We are now blessed with 78 beer styles, many with sub-categories, recognized by the Great American Beer Festival (GABF). Most of these have been around for many years, with fewer styles being recent additions. That is what makes the birth  of a new beer style exciting.”
