Swedish Breweries and their Beers

Swedish Breweries

styles - history - beers

Introduction
This is a list of, as far as I am aware, all the breweries currently operating in Sweden. Also listed are the beers they brew, though I have omitted those below 3% (folköl). Swedish breweries, in order to get around advertising restrictions on full-strength beer, have a habit of using the same brand name for beers across all the different strength classes (Pripps Blå is a good example). It can make the product ranges of some breweries look enormous. If you want to know more about Swedish beer laws (well worth acquainting yourself with if you plan a visit to Sweden and don't want to end up very thirsty), they are explained in my Introduction to Swedish Beer.

Many thanks to Per Samuelsson for providing me with invaluable updates on the Swedish microbrewery scene.

The Swedish brewing industry
Carlsberg - who own the Falkenberg and Pripps breweries - dominate the market with thin, pale lagers. Their annual total production is about 2.3 million hl. I'm not sure if that figure includes non-taxable beer. If it does, Carlsberg have a mere 52% of the Swedish market. If it's only taxable beer, then their market share is a whopping 75%. Spendrups and Kopparbergs (who run three breweries) take up most of the rest, with a handful of older companies and a few micros fighting for the remaining scraps. There are no more than a handful of brewpubs. This is a rough breakdown of the structure of the Swedish brewing industry:
Brewery	No.	Details
Carlsberg	1	Has a single brewery in Falkenberg (formely Falcon). The Stockholm brewery (Pripps) closed in 2004.
Spendrups	2	Sweden's number 2 brewing group. Their 2nd brewery is a micro on Gottland. They have about 20% of the Swedish market.
Kopparbergs	3	A group that also owns the Banco and Zeunerts breweries.
Independents	3	Krönleins, Åbro and Avesta. Old, established independent breweries have been almost wiped out in Sweden.
Brewpubs	5	Brewpubs haven't really taken off in Sweden.
Microbreweries	19	My figure here is a snapshot. The microbrewery branch is extremely dynamic in Sweden, with breweries coming and going at a high rate of knots.
Contract brewers	1	Not as popular an option as in some countries.
Total	33
Systembolaget All beer over 3.5% alcohol can only be sold in state-owned shops, the Systembolaget. Their websitte has a complete list of beers they sell. Currently they stock 195 Swedish beers.

Swedish Beer styles
Pale lager - but what else? The beers brewed in Sweden fall into two main groups: bottom-fermented beers in broadly German styles top--fermented beers in British styles In addition, there are small quantities of the following brewed (usually by microbreweries): revived old Swedish styles top--fermented Belgian styles
Bottom-fermented Beers The overwhelming majority are pale lagers vaguely in the Pils style. Though, since the change in the law limiting the maximum strength to 5.6% ABV, some have had the strength of a pale bock. Some micros produce unfiltered versions called färsköl. Very few beers are actually designated as pils. In fact most beers are pretty vague about their style. Not surprising, really, when some brands have versions varying in strength from 2.8% to 10%. Odd beers do claim to be Export or Märzen, but I wouldn't expect any rigorous application of the correct characteristics of a particular style. Some breweries still produce versions of the original style of lager to be made in Sweden, münchner. These are pale brown lagers usually going under the name of "Bayerskt" ("Bavarian"). Though some "dark" lagers are probably closer in colour and style to a Vienna type. None of the versions from the commercial breweries have the specific nutty maltiness of a true Münchner, brewed with münchner malt. My guess is that they're coloured with caramel. One exception is König Ludwig Dunkel, brewed under licence from a Bavarian brewery and an all-malt beer. For Christmas, special dark lagers are brewed called Julöl. Now unfettered by silly strength restrictions, a few have attempted German-style Bocks, usually of the dark dubbelbock type. Sadly, the new freedom has mostly been used to brew super-strength lagers of no particular style or merit.
Top-fermented Beers Sweden has a long tradition of Porter brewing, unbroken over 200 years. It shouldn't come as a shock, then, that many new breweries have also taken on the style. I can particularly recommend Jämtlands Bryggeri's Porter and, perhaps surprisingly, Carnegie Porter, from Carlsberg/Pripps, a beer with striking depth for its modest strength. Under the old system of strength bands, British beers were very popular imports, easily fitting under the 5.6% maximum and sometimes even falling into the much more lightly taxed Class IIA category. The thirst for British bitter has encouraged local micros to brew in this style, so there are many Pale Ales around. Such Swedish beers can sometimes be found in genuine cask-conditioned form. About the only indigenous style still made is gotlandsdricke. It's the name given to the beers of the home-brewing tradition, still extant, on the island of Gotland. It shares at least some common roots with Finland's sahti. The Spendrup's-owned microbrewery on the island did produce a commercial version, though I'm not sure if it's still in their product range. Now anything goes as far as strength is concerned, strong Belgian beers have quickly established a niche for themsleves. So no big surprise that these are the next subjects for imitation or emulation. The abbey Dubbel and Tripel styles have been favourite.

Swedish brewing industry statistics
Finally here are a few basic statisctics on the Swedish brewing industry. The drop in taxable beer production in 1997 can be attributed to a change in the law, which removed duty from certain classes of low-alocohol beer (folköl). Some production instantly became tax-free and dropped out of these figures. Note that the only breweries included are those in the Sveriges Bryggerier (the Swedish Brewers Association), whose figures these are. Since the mid-1990's there have been many new micros, who are not all represented in these figures. However, unlike the UK, new breweries have been allowed to join the association so, confusingly, some of them do show up in the numbers above. Confused? I certainly am. To get a true figure for the total number of breweries in Sweden, my guess would be to add an extra 10 to 20 or so to every year since 1997. My best estimate is that it has hovered around the 40 mark over the last 5 years.

Produces an enormous array of pale lagers, many licence-brewed versions of Carlsberg's Danish beers. But at 1 million hl, it's not that big a brewery in the modern world. I wonder how many breweries Carlsberg will have in Scandinavia in a few years' time? A couple of mega-breweries could brew enough to supply Denmark/Sweden/Norway quite easily.

How prescient I was! Carlsberg Sweden plan to close their Stockholm brewery in October 2004, with production moving to Falkenberg and Copenhagen. The group still has an awful lot of breweries in Norway-Sweden-Denmark, where the total beer market is only around 12 million hl.

Carlsberg also imports beers - such as a stronger (4.4%) version of Tetley's Bitter - from other parts of its empire.

Gamla Stans Färsköl	5%	Unfiltered pale lager. Yeast, vanilla and sulphur aroma; bitter taste with vanilla, grass, sulphur, honey and yeast aromas; bitter finish with wood, hop and chicory aromas. A good, bitter pale lager. Has a pleasant Burton-like farty smell.	82

Brewpub. Jan Stenbeck, the initiator of this project showed considerable determination in establishing Sweden'd first brewpub, at a time when it was unclear if it was legal or not. His stubbornness also had less positive effects: at his insistance only a single pale lager was brewed. Since his departure, the way has been clear for a widening of the product range. The intention is to eventually serve 6 house draught beers.
