12 Feb Berliner Wise-Guy is out soon, but we’re getting more excited about cans – Weekly Update
This weekend it feels like we are all over the place. Adam is at Beavertown’s 4th birthday bash in the UK and Darryl is at the Bergen International Whisky and Beer Festival in Norway, while everyone else is at the brewery taking delivery of our first shipment of cans.
We attend the Bergen International Whisky & Beer Festival together with our Norwegian Distributor, The Palmer Group. So for all our Norwegian fans, be sure to be on the look-out for our beers in your local pubs. Hopefully they’ll start showing up soon enough.
Then we’ve also just added the Linköping Beer Expo to the list of festivals we will attend this year. See you there.
Then last but not least, we’ve been hearing rumours that Berliner is the new black. We’ve had two out in the last month that has proved to be very popular, and now we’re soon releasing a third, called Berliner Wise-Guy. Hope you enjoy it.
We’re getting excited about cans
Early this morning we took delivery of our first shipment of cans from our supplier Crown Cork. They have been fantastic in helping us get this right the first time.
The beers that will go into can are Hip Hops, Bobek Citra, Session IPA and Single Hop Mosaic. We’re aiming to get two beers exchanges from bottles to cans at Systembolaget, but more on that later on.
For now, we’d like to know what you think about cans vs. bottles. Vote, and also if you’d like, send us a message with your comments.
Let us know what you think about Cans vs. Bottles
Berliner Wise-Guy
3,8% – Berliner Weisse
This wise-guy is a low ABV* beer, where the souring and malt profile deliver a slight lemon flavour and a delicate sourness.
*Alcohol by volume.
Our other two Berliners are A Passion for Gingers and I Lost my Cherry by the Salty Sea, and we have just brewed A Passion for Gingers again.
Upcoming Festivals

Linköping Beer Expo 12 March 2016
Linköping Beer Expo has also been added to the list of festivals we will be attending this year. At the moment it looks like three of us will make our way to the festival. As to which beers we’ll bring, well it’s not been decided yet, so watch this space for more info.
For more information on the expo, have a look at their website, or get information on tickets here.

Växjö Beer Festival on the 9th of April
Actually Anders will again make his way to Växjö. Which beers he’s brining with him is still not clear, but there will definitely be one or two surprises.
For more information on the festival, have a look at their website.

Copenhagen Beer Celebration 13-14 May 2016
We’re happy to announce that we have been invited to this year’s Copenhagen Beer Celebration, held on the 13th and 14th of May. The beers we’re taking with us are still in the works and they will be announced closer to the time. So watch this space.
For more information, follow CBC on Facebook, or get hold of your tickets here, as there’s still some available for some sessions, then we’ll see you in Copenhagen.
Looking for low alcohol beers? Or as we say in Sweden Folköl.
On our website, you can have a look at a map, where you can see which stores, such as ICA & Hemköp already stock our beer. Below you can see the three beers we have in stock.
Unperial Stout
3,4% – Coffee Stout

Collaboration stout between Beerbliotek, Dugges and Da Matteo Coffee. The Challenge was to create a low ABV coffee stout with the full flavour and mouth feel of an Imperial Stout. We used copious amounts of Da Matteo’s single origin coffee from Carmin Joven’s farm in Colombia to create the great roasted tones and aromas in this beer.
Finding our beers at Systembolaget.
On our website, you can have a look at a map, where we feature the stores that will have our beers on their shelves. If you live in other parts of Sweden, then you can follow this link to order the beers directly from Systembolaget.se.
Pilsner One-O-One
5,0% – Unfiltered Pilsner

This is our first attempt at a pilsner. We never attempted this style as homebrewers. It is generously hopped, and as with all of our beers, it is unfiltered and unpasteurised.
Eternal Darkness
11,0% – Imperial Stout

The winter nights in Sweden are long, dark and cold. We created this beer to keep you company through those hours of eternal darkness.
Bobek Citra
5,5% – American pale Ale

For this Pale Ale we use Styrian Bobek Hops from Slovenia and Citra Hops from the US. This combines the gentle citrus tones of European noble hops with the more in your face aromas of US high alpha Hops.
Raspberry Wheat
5,5% – Fruit Pale Ale

We ferment this Pale Ale with a massive amount of Raspberries. With 30% Wheat in the malt bill, it has a slight sourness we think works nicely with the Raspberry aroma.
Hip Hops
6,0% – IPA

Hip Hops contains a combination of what we consider to be the current “Hipster Hops”. A clean malt profile of Pale Malt and Carapils leaves a crisp clean finish, allowing the hops to really shine.
Black IPA
6,9% – Cascade & Columbus Hops

Cascade and Columbus Hops present fresh pine and citrus characteristics, combined with the coffee and liquorice tones from our blend of roasted malts. For us, it’s all the things a Black IPA should be.

Our brewers have brewed our second White IPA to add to our beer library. The first one we did was our collaboration with @moondogbrewing in Australia, called Modersmjölk, way back in 2017.
Inspired by the classic Belgian Witbier, or ‘white beer’, our brewers decided to mix things up. This White IPA is a marriage of two distinct beer styles; the American IPA with its high hop character and the wheat-based Belgian Wit with its refreshing and spicy presence. We punched up the orange zest and pulled back on the Citra and Cascade hops to let the typical Witbier tones of orange, citrus and a light spiciness from the coriander through.

This afternoon we walked down the road from our brewery for the opening day of @hermanos_tacokiosk to support Niklas and his fun new TacoKiosk adventure! 🌮 And of course we dropped off some beer to add to their menu. We thought our little Pilsner, Li’l Pils, would pair nicely. 👌
Niklas has been a big part of the beerbliotek family and friends with us for a very long time. We wish him and the Hermanos TacoKiosk team the very best of success! We’re all excited to have a new lunch destination.
If you’re in or around Majorna, Gothenburg 🇸🇪 and in the mood for a ‘not entirely traditional’ tasty taco menu with some folköl, this is the new place to be.

Hello world. Happy Shrove Tuesday, or as we say in Sweden, Fettisdagen! Which is also known here as Semla Day.
Way back in 2018, when collaborations were a thing, our old local bakery @sanna_konditori__bageri experimented with our beer in these sweet buns, as can be seen in the video, and won the competition for “Gothenburg City’s best Semla”. Pretty sweet! 🤙
We loved testing their baked goods as much as they enjoyed baking with our beer. What’s your favourite recipe to make with beer? 🍻🧑🍳
For this year we recommend pairing your semla (or semlor) with our newest Porter, Follow me into the dark. Available @systembolaget 🇸🇪
If you’re not Swedish, and a bit confused as to what all the fuss is about, then here’s some Semla facts 👇
.
The name semla (plural, semlor) is a loan word from German Semmel, which was the name used for the finest quality wheat flour or semolina. The oldest version of the semla was a plain bread bun, eaten in a bowl of warm milk. In Swedish this is known as hetvägg, from Middle Low German hete Weggen (hot wedges).
.
Today, the Swedish semla consists of a cardamom-spiced wheat bun which has its top cut off, and is then filled with a mix of milk and almond paste, topped with whipped cream. The cut-off top serves as a lid and is dusted with powdered sugar. Today it is often eaten on its own, with coffee or tea. Some people still eat it in a bowl of hot milk. (Many bakeries distinguish between the two by decorating the traditional bun with almonds on top, whereas the jam-filled version has powdered sugar on top).

Our next Single Hop brew is on the way!
Idaho 7 is one of our favourite Hop varieties, so we decided to show off its peachy characters in this beer. Full bodied and fruity, this is going to be a luscious IPA. 👌
