The brewhouse consists of three kettles from 1946 and a wort filter from 2014. The kettles are made of red copper and are “hammered” by hand into the existing shapes. The capacity is 3000 kg deposit. In the past, brews of 250 to 300 hl of lager were produced with this. Today we brew 110 hl per brew since the current beers are of a much higher density.

330mL bottle at Beerlovers. Pours clear deep brown with a beige head. Estery Belgian yeast with a hint of whiskey on the nose. Flavour has light brown sugar, raisins, dark berries, and a fantastic whiskey complement. Great complexity, incorporating the whiskey has worked extremely well.

Brunröd vätska med rejäl skumkrona. Aromer av dadlar, fikon och en släng av fänkål. Fyllig maltighet och med en försiktig lätt träig, höig beska. Smaker av torkade frukter och en rejäl munutfyllnad och tilltagen eldighet. Lång eftersmak.
