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.

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.

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.
Take Care & Stay Safe

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. 👌

Our staff are the reason Beerbliotek is what it is. And what would a brewery be without it's fair share of interns helping out from time to time?
Introducing Linda Bengtström, who started as an intern with us mid-January, and will be here through to the summer.
She's studying Brewing Technique at Nynäshamn, and is one of the few Swedes who have earned the title of “Cicerone” after passing the @cicerone Certification Program last year. On top of that she's the Assistant Manager at @brewdoggoteborg. That's where she got to know us, and one of the reasons why she's here. Wish her luck!
We chat about Linda’s Craft Beer journey and reveal a sneak peak of a recent project on our blog. Follow the link in our bio.
