01 Apr Hello from Malmö Beer and Whisky Festival – Weekly Update
This week we’re writing our update from the Malmö Beer and Whisky Festival. The place is packed, the music is playing and the beer is flowing.
It’s still early hours and we’ve had a good turnout of people so far, but notice that this isn’t our own back yard of Gothenburg, where more people know us. If you’re in Malmö, get down to the festival and come and say hi. We’ve taken all of our new cans with us, three beers on bottle and six on tap.

- Sweason – Fruit Saison
- More Bang for your Bock – Bock

So we hope to see you tomorrow at the festival in Malmö. More good news on festivals, is that we have also added Kalmar Beer Festival to our list of festivals for 2016. Below there’s some more information on the dates, and how to get hold of your tickets.
A reminder from last week about the two new events we’ll be having during the Gothenburg Beer Week. The first is a Vegetarian Beer Makers Dinner which has only two places left, followed the next day by Beerbliotek & Ska Brewing’s Ska Party which has space for 120 people. Read below for more information.
Last week we also released a new beer, called “More Bang for your Bock“. Read below some more about it.
Now it’s time to get back to the festival here in malmö.
Have a great weekend.
More Bang for your bock
Our first Bock ever. This dark amber style Lager is brewed especially for Easter. Lightly hopped, with a balanced addition of Orange peel, it delivers a stronger, malt forward beer with a bang!
For those that are waiting to ask, the answer is no… this beer is not going to Systembolaget. For all the beers we have at Systembolaget, have a look at our Systembolaget page.
#BeerbliotekCans
As we’re moving into summer here in Sweden or the northern hemisphere to be more exact, we’re expecting cans to be great travel companions, great in a park or great on a boat. Why not tag your photos with #BeerbliotekCans, so we can follow your can beer drinking summer vacation.
On Instagram triplealehead has showed what he’s up to with our cans.
Upcoming Events
Vegetarian Beer Makers Dinner.
Only four tickets left.
A five course vegetarian dinner prepared by the one and only Styrbjörn Såtvik at Björns Bar, whilst the matching beer for each course has been chosen by Beerbliotek’s head brewer Adam Norman.

We teamed up with our Danish friends @toolbeer to put some fun brews together for the To Øl Beer Club box May edition!
For this we brewed one beer especially for them, Waiting for the tide to come in, a Honey Baltic Porter. Plus, we gave them two of our latest beers, Herb Life, an India Pale Ale, and Amazing Maize, a Mexican Lager.
•Waiting for the tide to come in x To Øl Beer Club•
This is our Scandinavian interpretation of a Baltic Porter, a style inspired by our friends from across the seas, East and West, a style that has always moved with the tides.
This beer is as dark as the Scandinavian winter nights, brightened with a touch of honey sweetness, and waves of deep malty flavours. A complex mix of toffee, liquorice and soy wash through with soft notes of coffee and chocolate. This beer is designed to be a warming evening sipper, as one waits for the tide to come in.
Fingers crossed we can go across the seas soon to hang out and brew a beer together 🖤

Hey @richardbull_ remember way back at our Sockerbruket brewery, the sun came through the window at just the right angle making for some great photos? And all you wanted to do instead of posing was go outside and have a beer in the sun.

FOLKÖL SHOP
Hello Gothenburg 👋
Fancy some fresh folköl (low abv beers) straight from the source?
The Folköl Shop is open tomorrow + every Friday 12-5PM for anyone to come through our brewery doors to pick up & take away.
FOLKÖL LIST
- MAKE TINY CHANGES TO EARTH -
Our latest IPA is tiny. We wanted to create a new low ABV beer, that was hazy, full-bodied and heavily dry-hopped. We threw Azacca, Amarillo, Columbus and Citra hops at it, which gives you aromas of stone fruit and ripe citrus. It’s fermented on London Fog yeast, amping up the haziness and even more of those fruity flavours.
- LI’L PILS -
Introducing Li’l Pils. Our unfiltered little Pilsner, with a lower ABV of 3,5% (Folköl). When we asked the brewers what the difference was between Li’l Pils and our standard Pils Pls, they replied, “It’s like your mother giving you a brother, but with a different father.
- WHOOP ASS -
For our fourth collaboration with @allinbrewing, we settled on a low alcohol Berliner Weisse with Orange Peel. We called it Whoop Ass, cause it’s in a can, and delivers a punch.
A sour with the addition of orange peel for a little more bitterness that refreshes with every sip.
- SESSION IPA -
We mash this low ABV beer warmer than usual to retain the malt backbone. We then add a massive dry-hop to enhance the aroma and flavour, for a beer you can enjoy all day.
A very aromatic hop taste with a clear bitterness, there’s some hints of grapefruit, pine, pineapple and spices.
Take Care & Stay Safe. See you tomorrow 🍻
Open every Friday 12-5PM

Hello Sweden 🇸🇪
Here are this month's Systembolaget new beer releases. 10:00 Monday 3 May.
Sunny disposition - New England Session IPA.
Sunny disposition is our second New England Session IPA. An ideal springtime beer for all of you hop heads looking for a fresh IPA to brighten up your day, until we can once again welcome the sun back to Sweden. A light, golden and hazy beer, loaded with oats for a silky smooth mouthfeel. Mosaic hops fill the nose with dank and herbal notes, followed by a fruity kick from Ekuanot hops.
Square peg, round hole - White IPA.
Our brewers decided to mix things up, and pay homage to the misfit White IPA, a square peg in a round hole. A marriage of two distinct beer styles; the American IPA with its high hop character and the classic wheat-based Belgian Witbier, with its refreshing and spicy presence. We punched up the orange peel, and pulled back on the Citra and Cascade American Noble hop profiles, to give a pronounced orange citrus flavour, and let the light, earthy and floral spiciness from the coriander through.
Find them at Systembolaget.se/beerbliotek + selected stores.
