Even though Sweden is not a typical beer country per se, it has a long brewing tradition. The Vikings brewed a type of ale and thus laid the foundation for a tradition that is thousands of years old.
Until the 19th century, brewing was mainly a private matter: every household had the right to brew beer for its own use. The brews were usually low-proof and were enjoyed as an everyday drink, not just in the evening. Following this era, the first commercial breweries were established and the sale of beer was regulated by law for the first time. Beers with an alcohol content of 2.25% or less can still be sold and served everywhere today, but for all creations with higher alcohol content, a special permit is required to serve them, and the beer can only be bought in so-called Systembolaget shops. These are state-run and ensure that alcohol is not sold to minors. Because things are a little different in Germany, you can buy beer specialties from all over the world here. For example, the fine beer from Brewski. The small, family-run brewery comes from southern Sweden and brews the finest beer with significantly more than 2.25% alcohol content.
Founder Marcus Hjalmarsson first came into contact with craft beer when he visited his brother in Vancouver in 1996. Canada already had a small craft beer scene at the time, and in big cities you could taste hand-crafted creations from microbreweries here and there. On this fateful vacation, Marcus not only fell in love with beer, he also found a name for his future brewery: Brewski is an American slang word used for all kinds of brewing. When Marcus finally decided to make beer his profession in 2014, he still had the word in his head and quickly made it the name of his company. As a passionate beer lover, Marcus formulates his mission as a pursuit of creativity, responsibility and enthusiasm. Every single beer should convey his love of hops and malt and make enjoyment a true experience. Marcus values every job in his brewery: the choice of raw materials, the development of recipes, brewing and packaging, but also the social component that brings contact with his customers and other brewers around the world. Brewski now sells beer in more than 35 countries around the world and creations like Passionate Beet can be found as far away as Japan.
