Brooklyn Heads To Sweden For New Brewery Restaurant
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.
Meet The Wicked Weed Brewing Team [VIDEO]
Today, Wicked Weed Brewing Co. joins the Asheville, North Carolina brewing scene. The brainchild of Walt Dickinson, Luke Dickinson and Ryan Guthy. The 15 barrel brewhouse is built into an old gas station and will feature a tasting room and full restaurant upstairs. Expect Belgian style ales, and west coast American ales. 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”. He said that in 1519. 500 years later, those words are immortalized in Asheville.
Launch beers include Zealot IPA, Heresy Brown Ale, Freak Double IPA, and Tyranny Hoppy Red Ale. Small Batch Series and Wicked Wood Series Beers are forthcoming. Doors open at 5 pm today.
