Beer in Sweden

There’s no better time for beer in Sweden! Since Sweden joined the European Union in 1995, the beer culture in Sweden has radically transformed from a paltry one into a country with a thriving beer culture. This is great news! There are an increasing number of styles and flavors to choose from, with all kinds of ales, pale ales, porters, and a new surge of the indigenous gotlandsdricke. Farskol, or unfiltered lagers, offer the most full-flavored choice. There are more than 40 breweries at work in Sweden. So get yourself to the Stockholm Beer Festival, which is the biggest event in Scandinavia! There you can try the best of Swedish beer, along with beers from all around the globe. If you can’t make it to the festival, all the restaurants, bars and cafes would be happy to give you the same experience of great-tasting, full-bodied Swedish beer.
