Discover how organic brewing in Sweden brings together European brewing heritage, creative freedom and expressive ingredients.
From organic hops and malts to careful traceability throughout the brewing process, Swedish brewers are exploring how organic production can deliver distinctive flavor while reflecting values linked to quality, sustainability and respect for the environment.
My name is Henok Fentie.
I am a brewer and founder of a brewery that works with organic produce,
but also non-organic produce today.
And we are very excited about being able to be craftsmen.
I think what makes Sweden and Stockholm unique in terms of brewing
is that we both have the heritage of the European brewing traditions.
But we're also free to experiment because we don't have that heritage as Swedish brewers.
I think organic produce is something that people associate with a lot of positive values
for the environment.
Organic brewing has a bright future.
In terms of process, we need to keep our organic products
completely separate from our non-organic.
We need to trace when we brew to make sure that nothing is contaminated.
So we are happy that our organic hops actually smell and taste more.
You can sense that in the finished product.
I think organic products that we've experienced working with are very expressive.
Beer is supposed to bring people together and I think this really helps us do that.
