29 Apr A Passion for Strawberry Blondes moves from a bottle to a can, A Moment of Clarity is out again soon and we’re heading to more festivals in 2017 – Weekly Brewery Update
In this week’s Brewery Update, we show the latest cans of “A Passion for Strawberry Blondes”, there’s some photos of the latest Tap Room Pub and the official GBG Beer Week beer for 2017, “A Moment of Clarity” is available at Systembolaget in Sweden again on June 1.
A Passion for Strawberry Blondes. Now in a can.
In September 2016 we installed our canning line, and started canning more of our beers than bottling them. We’ve not gone over 100%, but who knows what the future holds.
The latest of our Speciality Beers that has now moved over to a can is “A Passion for Strawberry Blondes“, a Berliner Weisse with Passion Fruit and Strawberries. This is the fourth time we have brewed this beer, which forms part of our Berliner Weisse range. It has become a favourite in two of our export markets, Finland and Norway.
So look out for it in your local store, now in a can.
In our sixth Berliner we’ve added a lot of passion... fruit, and strawberries. It’s as simple as that. This beer is dedicated to everyone living their life full of passion.
Our whole collection of Berliner Weisse Illustrations. Fun, fun, fun.
A Moment of Clarity. GBG Beer Week 2017. More on its way 🙂
A Moment of Clarity is the official GBG Beer Week beer for 2017. We’re very proud of this beer. It was launched it during the GBG Beer Week, almost two months ago, and is currently rated in the Top 20 best Session IPAs globally on Ratebeer. It’s also won bronze in the Ales up to 5,0% category at the Gothenburg Beer and Whisky Fair 2017.
A Hop aromatic taste with a gentle bitterness, hints of Mango, Passion Fruit, Grapefruit Peel, Pine Needles and Pineapple.
The beer sold out at Systembolaget in the first month and we’ve been very busy lately brewing it again, and the good news is that it will be launched at Systembolaget again on the first of June. So our Swedish customers will be able to get their hands on it again, in time for summer. And to be sure, we’ve brewed more than five batches 🙂
Tap Room Weekend. #goodtimes
It’s been great to have our Tap Room open again this last weekend. Both days were busy as usual, with a lot of new faces. It was also great to see how many brought some pizza to eat at the Tap Room, while enjoying the ten beers we have available, both on tap, and in the fridge.
25% off all merch. Visit our Tap Room in May and ask for the Sales Code 🙂
Upcoming International Festivals.
Come and say hi 🙂
Below are the latest Festivals we will be attending during May 2017. Come by and say hi. The beer list are published closer to the times, but CBC is the only one we have been at before. Both Bergen and Edinburgh are new to us, and we’re looking forward to seeing what it’s all about and meeting new people, who are as passionate about Craft Beer as we are.
And finally
Our Tap Room is currently hiring. If you’re keen to work with us, then have a look to see if you’re who we’re looking for.
The Tap Room is open again in two weeks time 12-13 May, so if you’ve missed this week, or have never been, then be sure to come by and drink one or two beers at “our house”.
Until next week. Keep well.
🙂

Hello Sweden!
Today we are welcoming our latest beer release, Herb Life.
🍻🌿
Exactly what it says on the can, Herb Life is an India Pale Ale loaded with grassy, herb forward hops, bringing pungent, dank and super fruity aromas and flavours to the brew pot. Sweet vanilla and coconut notes enhance dope, dank flavours with juicy hits of pineapple and a nice bitter, crisp hop bite to end with. Herb Life is the IPA that everyone wants to drink when the weather is improving and the pollen is getting into your system. 🤙
🍻🌿
This is the second beer in our homebrand series, following Malt Beverage, where we challenged our brewers with a two word brief, and where design does not take centre stage, but the beer itself.
🍻🌿
You can get your hands on this dope beer at good bars and restaurants in Sweden. Hitting Systembolaget 1 July.
🍻🌿
Take care, stay safe, and chill out.

Hey @skycoolbean remember that time we released a beer at the start of Spring 🌱after a long winter, called “Staring out windows” and we asked you to stare out the window for the marketing photo? You thought we were nuts 😂
We miss you at the brewery by the way 😘 come say hi once in a while.

Beer Release Friday 16 April starting 2PM @brewdoggoteborg!
🍻🍋
We’re releasing the first beer to come out of our latest brewery project – beerbliotek experimental brew.
🍻🍋
beerbliotek experimental brew is a project focussed fully on exploration and experimentation. By bringing a small 100 litre brew kit in to play with the go-ahead for pushing boundaries and playfulness in a creative space, our brewers get to go nuts and try ingredients and different beer styles as a smaller batch. It gives them the freedom to experiment, hence the name.
🍻🍋
Linda Bengtström is the creator of the first experimental brew. You may remember Linda spent some time with us in the brewery this year as a portion of her brewing studies. At Beerbliotek, we decided as part of the education process for interns at our brewery, to create the opportunity for them to design their own recipe and brew that beer on our Experimental kit.
🍻🍋
Introducing Hoppy Lemon Sour Ale. This is a special one-time brew and limited beer release. As Linda is the Assistant Manager @brewdoggoteborg , we thought it was only fitting for them to be the only bar to get the batch!
🍻🍋
From the creator:
“I’m always dreaming of warmer days, and I wanted to brew a beer to remind me of summer. Juicy sour lemon haze meets tropical, citrusy hops with a hint of coconut and dry hopped for that extra punch! Refreshing and super drinkable, like lemonade. But better.”
🍻🍋
Join us & @saganomlinda on Friday if you’re feeling healthy 🍻 book a table via @brewdoggoteborg Facebook.
Take Care and Stay Safe.
We are Ombibulous. We see the merit in all drinks, and we enjoy every one of them.
When we founded Beerbliotek, we did it with the dream of doing something different. Brewing new beers every week, always. Now that almost seems the norm.
8 years on, and that dream is still alive. But it's a dream of doing something more.
Over late nights, travel and our love of flavours, we thought why not? Why only beer? We are Ombibulous.
18 months ago we decided to examine the possibility of making a larger array of drinks. Since our first child has now grown up. It’s time to extend the family.
@wetcityspirits is born from our love of these things.
So our first release is a Gin. A Gin we have worked rigorously on for a long time. Striving to achieve our goal of making a Gin for 100 drinks. But our future is more than Gin. Our future is grain to glass. Our future is fermented fruits. Our future, after all, is Ombibulous.
Follow our journey on @wetcityspirits

Malt Beverage – Amber Lager 5,3%

series where we challenged our brewers
with a two word brief, and where design
does not take centre stage, but the beer
itself.
A spicy and sweet Amber Lager with a
full malt flavour. Hints of sweet apples and
fig jam on the nose, caramel and dried fruit
notes in the flavour, and a light yeast
character with the perfect bitterness to end it
off. This malt beverage is the perfect
balance between yeast, hops and malted
barley leaving you wanting more.
Now available to pick up and order online at Systembolaget.
Sweden and export release to bottle shops, bars and restaurants from Monday 12 April.
Fancy a Malt Beverage but don’t see it at your local? Get in touch, we’ll try to make it happen.

As we countdown the hours until #300 limited release, We don’t count sequentially, our very first Freeze-distilled Wheat Wine, we’re looking back on some of the things we have done as a brewery, on the way to 300.
On the way to 300, we moved from bottles to cans.
Some of us at the brewery still remember the clinking sound of glass bottles from the early days of capping bottles by hand, yes, one by one. Thinking back, maybe there was a reason we packaged more beer in kegs at that time…
Now we’re living a bit bigger with our very own canning line. The reasons are simple; it’s better for the beer, and the environment, plus metal recycles forever. We think it’s safe to say the beer itself, as well as our brewers, are much happier now.
Buy hey, doing everything by hand did teach us to appreciate our bottling line, and now our canning line. More beer out, in less time. Though some of us still miss the mark on the cap left by the capping machine. The good ol’ days.
Fun Fact! On 1 March 2016, beer number #120, Single Hop Mosaic, was the first beer off our canning line. (A fresh hoppy batch is currently available @systembolaget).
Have you noticed our current cans have the Beerbliotek story hidden underneath? 👀
We will be releasing 1080 cans of We don’t count sequentially, our very first Freeze-distilled Wheat Wine, only @beerbliotek systembolaget 🇸🇪 in selected stores and online. On sale from Wednesday 7 April 10:00.

Happy Friday folks! On Wednesday we release beer number 300, our very first freeze-distilled Wheat Wine! Which we’ve named, We don’t count sequentially.
As we wait for the big day, we thought we would look back at some of the things we have done as a brewery, on the way to 300.
On the way to 300, we have made our beer names wordier.
Coming up with a beer name is an artform, especially when you hit the 300 mark. For us (mainly @adamnorman), the longer, the wordier, the more bizarre and off the cuff, the better. For our designer (@darryl74), however, not so much.
At the start, we used to just call our beers after their ingredients and the style, it was simpler times. But every beer has a story. So for us, the beer name is a small insight to the great, slightly mad, stories we want to tell.
A lot of our beer names are inspired by people we meet at festivals, and experiences we share. (Remember these collabs @wylam_brewery @whiplashbeer @cervisiamno ?) If you want to know what these beer names are all about, or inspire the next one, then see you at a festival in the near future, or drop a comment below, or check out our beer stories on Our Blog.
Our longest beer name (so far) is beer number #280 “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them enjoy the view 🐴 Sorry to any bartender out there who had to write that one on the menu board…
What’s been some of your favourite Beerbliotek beer names? Here’s some photos of ours.
Also, any secret naming genius’ out there? Drop a suggestion below if you fancy naming a beer and getting your name mentioned the label. 10 points for the wordiest.
Limited release of #300 We don’t count sequentially @systembolaget, in selected stores and online.
