Brooklyn Brewery, D. Carnegie & Co., and Carlsberg Sweden announced the launch of a new brewery and restaurant in central Stockholm, Sweden. The new digs face Stockholm’s waterfront, and will have a 8,000 barrel capacity.
The Brooklyn Brewery will manage and operate the project through a Swedish subsidiary, and the U.S. brewing team will travel to stockholm to brew in the future.
“We love Stockholm, and the whole Brooklyn brewing team is looking forward to their stints at Brooklyn-New Carnegie. We’re going to have a lot of fun brewing and creating beers with our Swedish team,” said Oliver.
Other interesting things to note – Brooklyn Brewery collaborated with Carnegie on a bourbon barrel version of Carnegie Porter for the 175th Anniversary of Carnegie Brewery. Carnegie Porter has been distributed in New York by Brooklyn a few years ago. Brooklyn Lager and East India Pale Ale are currently available throughout Sweden.

Don’t forget the barrel aged beers coming soon. What’s in a name? That comes from a quote from King Henry VIII”“Hops are a wicked and pernicious weed”.

Due to the overwhelming onslaught of locusts, we have made the decision to delay our Grand Opening. In all seriousness, this decision was a difficult one because we truly were 99% sure we could make it happen. We are working diligently so we can to get this place in tip-top shape and will not settle for anything less than serving our Inmates the perfect pint. We are not posting the new date until we are 100% sure so stay tuned here on Facebook, Twitter, or our website. Until then, Seek Asylum at one of the many fine craft beer establishments in town and know that your A-Team is working fast and furious. Cheers!
