OUR HOUSE BEER

 

REDIG WHEAT BEER

SMÅLAND WHEAT BEER

A proper wheat beer from Småland, a weissbier that primarily derives its flavor from the character of the yeast, supported by the fullness of the wheat, its frothy head, and a certain haze. It pairs surprisingly well with many dishes and is often a safe choice, but naturally, it shines on a late spring day among the birds’ songs.

ELCHFEST

SMÅLAND MÄRZEN

Oktoberfest is a pleasant tradition, associated with hearty lager beers from Bavaria, which now also has its name trademarked. During the same period of the year, there’s a lot of territorial battling in the Småland forests as the moose rut takes place. After the rut, in October, the moose hunting season begins, which is an important part of the Swedish rural soul, where people come together to hunt the majestic animal, the king of the forest.
Let’s call it Elchfest! Prost!

FYRA SÄDESSLAG

SMÅLAND AMBER ALE

Our four grains collaborate in this brew to create a complex malty experience. Each grain contributes something different to the experience—barley as the backbone of all beer, oats for creaminess, wheat for fullness, and rye adding a little spiciness at the end. A proper Småland dish to pair with this beer is ragmunk (potato pancakes) with pork or perhaps sautéed mushrooms from the forest.

BÄRFIS

SMÅLAND SOUR BEER

A golden “berry bug” from the deep forests of Småland—it’s not every day such a thing ends up in your glass. We hope! Noble berries in various colors belong to summer, and we’ve combined them with a refreshing tartness from lactic fermentation to create this fruity sour beer. We think it pairs wonderfully with a berry summer pie or as a refreshing drink on its own.

ÄLVJUICE

SMÅLAND JOS-IPA

A magical New England-style, hazy, juicy IPA. A beloved style with many new names. In addition to the bold base of highly aromatic hop varieties, this beer is fermented with Norwegian kveik yeast at a low temperature. This adds an interesting and stable framework of orange and citrus, evoking the feeling of a mystical fruit in the forest—just stick your straw right in!

UTVANDRAREN

SMÅLAND IPA

Småland meets America. A light, flavorful, well-hopped India Pale Ale brewed by hand in the heart of the Småland forests! A proper IPA, brewed with the finest ingredients and generous amounts of American hops, resulting in a fruity beer with plenty of flavor and aroma.

REDIG APA

SMÅLAND PALE ALE

SMÅLAND HAZE

SMÅLAND HAZY SESSION-IPA ALE

A light and smooth, slightly lower-alcohol session IPA that gains creaminess from wheat and oats during brewing. Combined with an overdose from the hop garden, it creates a fruity and aromatic experience that lasts from the early morning hours to the fading twilight!

REDIG PILSNER

SMÅLAND PILSNER

A Proper Pilsner from Småland’s deep forests, where stones have been stacked upon stones through the centuries. We’ve used the finest ingredients—classic Saaz hops, pilsner malt, and pure water filtered through layers of Småland stone. The result is a delightful pilsner with a lightly refreshing bitterness that pairs well with almost anything, especially hearty home-cooked meals.

GLÖD

SMÅLAND STOUT

Let us present a robust dark stout with complex notes of chocolate, leather, tobacco, and licorice. We think it pairs remarkably well with a cozy fire, enjoyed on its own, or why not with a plate of well-aged cheeses? Another wild idea is to top your cold beer with a scoop of ice cream—beer float. Enjoy!

SAISON DU PETIT PAYS

SMÅLAND SAISON

When the hay is harvested and drying on the hayricks, the scent of summer in the countryside is at its best, and it has inspired us to create this saison. A French-Belgian beer style traditionally brewed in winter to last through the end of the summer harvest season. With its light malt and interesting yeast profile, which gives a dry and fresh finish, it’s a light yet complex beer that stands well on its own as well as being a great food pairing option.

EMIGRANTEN

SMÅLAND IPA

Småland meets America. In your hand, you hold a well-hopped American IPA from the heart of the Småland forests, where stone has been stacked upon stone for centuries by hardworking Småländers. In earlier times, harsh conditions prevailed here, and some emigrated westward, where fantastic hops are now grown a century later, giving this beer the flavor and aroma that reach all the way to America.

OUR SEASONAL BEER

JORDGUBBSTÅRTA

SMÅLAND FRUIT BEER

As a tribute to the Swedish summer, we’ve created this special beer, with a mild creaminess from wheat and oats, generously flavored with strawberries and vanilla. The result is a smooth beer with a distinct summery character, reminiscent of the strawberry fields in Småland.

RAUCHBEARD

RAUCHBIER

Rauchbeard is a collaboration between Kvarnagårdens Bryggeri and the podcast Ölvärlden, hosted by Micael Lysén and Robert Andersson. Rauchbeard is our interpretation of the classic German beer style rauchbier.
A malty beer with smoky notes, based on three different types of smoked malt. No beer without smoke!

MASSIPANTÅTA

SMÅLAND BÄSS

Let’s mark this occasion with a tribute to the hardest word we know, Massipantåta! To honor this, we’ve created this beer with mild creaminess from wheat and oats, along with notes of jam and almond—a liquid cake in a can, simply put!

RIMFROST

OUR CRAFT DRINKS

TJÄRNSODA

CRAFT SODA

The calm mystique of the Småland forest has been captured in this drink. Blue super berries are elevated by bog myrtle, an unassuming shrub with a remarkable and intriguing taste and aroma that brings to mind a quiet moment by the forest’s tarn, where the common loon and dragonflies keep you company.

SKOGSSODA

CRAFT SODA

A craft soda made with the spring forest’s early treasures in the form of hand-picked birch leaves and spruce shoots, along with a twist of lemon zest. With the scent of a sunny spring forest and refreshing citrus notes, it pairs perfectly on its own or as part of a drink that evokes the deep Småland forests.

LINGONSODA

CRAFT SODA

A Småland craft soda made with lingonberries and other delicious ingredients from the forest’s pantry. We’ve balanced the unique tartness of the lingonberries with a touch of sweetness. We think it pairs excellently as a non-alcoholic option with hearty meals, as well as on its own or as a base for a drink with, for example, gin.

REDIG JULMUST

CRAFT SODA

A craft-brewed Christmas must with a twist from a mysterious blend of delicate spices, perfectly suited to winter’s hearty dishes. We’ve used a bit less sugar and carbonated the drink relatively lightly, to better complement food, as we see it. A proper Christmas must, simply put, from the quirky Småländers – enjoy!

RABAGRAPETONIC

SMÅLAND TONIC

A tonic drink from the deep forests of Småland with a fresh combination of acidity, bitterness, and fruity notes of rhubarb and grapefruit. As usual from us, a tonic with real quinine bark for a full-bodied and complex bitterness. It pairs perfectly with a characterful craft gin, of course, but also works as a non-alcoholic drink for those moments when it suits better. Just mix and experiment to find your favorite.

TONIC - NATURAL

SMÅLAND TONIC

A natural tonic drink from the deep forests of Småland with real quinine bark and a full-bodied, balanced bitterness, supported by a touch of acidity and sweetness. It pairs beautifully with a characterful craft gin, but also works as a non-alcoholic beverage for those times when you prefer it. Simply mix and try different combinations to find your favorite.

ROSÉTONIC

SMÅLAND TONIC

A lovely pink tonic drink from the deep forests of Småland with real quinine bark and a full-bodied, balanced bitterness supported by sweetness and acidity from lingonberries and hibiscus. It pairs perfectly with a characterful craft gin, of course, but also works as a non-alcoholic drink for those moments when it suits better. Just mix and experiment to find your favorite.

SKOGSTONIC

SMÅLAND TONIC

A tonic drink from the deep forests of Småland with hand-picked sour spruce shoots, combined with real quinine bark and angelica root for a rich bitterness. It pairs wonderfully with a characterful craft gin, but also makes a great non-alcoholic beverage for the times when it’s more suitable. Simply mix and try different combinations to find your favorite.

RÄVSODA

CRAFT SODA

Said the fox, “Sour, huh?” We help the tart rowanberry with a bit of sweetness and acidity from apple and rosehip, creating a fresh and slightly tangy drink from the edge of the forest. Perhaps it’s perfect for a barbecue trip in the woods with a traditional Swedish “kolbulle” by the embers, and maybe a red-tailed hawk will keep an eye out for any leftovers afterwards.

PÅSKMUST

CRAFT SODA

Easter signifies rebirth and hope for brighter times! We celebrate this with a classic must with our own Småland twist. We’ve also used a bit less sugar and carbonated the drink relatively low, to better pair with food, as we see it. A proper Easter must, simply put, from the quirky Småländers – enjoy!
