It’s been another busy week at the brewery. Even busier than usual, what with people on holidays and all. No complaints, just more beer for us.
At the end of another busy week for all of us we ended up brewing another beer on the weekend. But not just any beer. Another sour beer to be specific. It’s not always that we brew on the weekends, but Richard asked if I wanted to join him down at our Sour Brewery to brew a Brett IPA, so I said sure.
This weekend is an important weekend in the Swedish calendar. It’s the period of time centred upon the summer solstice, and more specifically the Northern European celebrations that accompany the actual solstice or take place on a day between June 19 and June 25 and the preceding evening.
Collaborations are a very important part of our brewing philosophy and this week we released yet another collaboration with our friends at All In Brewing. For those of you that don’t know them, you can follow them on Facebook. They make great beer, are a great bunch of people, and to top it all off, they run the All In Beer Fest, here in our home town of Gothenburg.
One of the questions we’re asked a lot is where our names comes from. The short answer is that Richard and Adam were drinking beer when they came up with the name. In pubs are where most great ideas come from as I’m sure you’re well aware. In this instance though, the pub looked like a library inside and because both are bilingual, English & Swedish, the word Beerbliotek was created quite naturally from the Swedish word for library, bibliotek and the english word beer.
I (f*cking) made it is not just the name of one of our new beers, but also something a lot of students and final year scholars have been saying in the last two weeks here in Sweden, as some of them finished years of school whilst others their university studies. To all of you we say good luck. You (f’cking) made it.
For this week’s update we’ve got news of a new beer, a great free beer magazine and a reminder to tag your photos of our cans with #FreshestCanInTheLand to be eligible to win two tickets to the All In Beer Festival in November.
To understand how we ended up with two breweries, maybe it’s time to go back to the start and tell our story a little bit, just for those that might not know.
