“Hammarby Syndrome is the distress or impairment caused by the frenzied anticipation and giddy obsession over the beautiful Hammarby Sjöstad section of Stockholm, Sweden and the New Carnegie Brewery that Brooklyn Brewery will open there in March."

Now there’s good news - we can help you! Our new Brewmaster’s Reserve beer is Hammarby Syndrome, a robust ale that will transport you directly to the seaside of old Stockholm. It’s brewed from a large proportion of spelt, an ancient wheat-like grain that was once a mainstay of Scandinavian beers. To the spelt’s distinctively nutty flavor, we’ve added another old Swedish beer ingredient - spruce fronds. They add a tasty citrusy pine note to a full-bodied, lightly fruity strong ale that’ll keep you warm until the spring sunshine comes to the rescue. More importantly, it’s great with hearty cold-weather food, and it’ll make you feel like you’re in Hammarby until you can come visit us there yourself.

Keg at Camden Town taproom. Pours clear, rich amber-yellowish with a pale cream head. The nose holds some rich bread, light meat, caramel. Medium to big sweet flavor with heavy bread, lots of caramel, slight leafy hops. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation and creamy texture. Sweet finish with sticky toasted sugars, loads more caramel. Fair.

Keg @ Trades Club, Hebden Bridge. Deeper amber colour with a thick frothy head. Does not taste its strength a slightly sugary sweetness throughout. It’s a little sticky in the palate with some toffee notes evident and quite a strong nose in this respect.
