About
Brutal brewing was established in 2011. It is an initiative of employees of one of Sweden’s leading breweries – Spendrups. Brutal Brewing is controlled and operated by employees of Spendrups on a “free time” basis.
We all have regular day jobs in the brewery. Our committed group consists of clerks and brewers that share the same core belief. Our simple mission is to create great brews and have fun.
That pretty much sums it up. Hopefully, this means that we can share some fun times with you.

Pistonhead Low Ridin´ Lager (4.6%) from Brutal Brewing

5.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 6
33 cl can @ sauna, BBE 21.06.2012
Aroma has butter, hay grassy hops and gooseberry bush. Also some nettles. Flavour is hoppy with gooseberry bush, grainy malt, some hard toffee candy. Very hoppy and nice, although there is a feeling of a bulk lager in the background. Probably the best beer in Finland that can be bought in a 24‐pack.

Pistonhead Plastic Fantastic from Brutal Brewing

4.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 4 Flavor 4 Texture 6 Overall 3.5
0.33l plastic fantastic bottle from Systembolaget Passagen, Stockholm, shared with ClubGonzo and Inbreak. This is a near-clear bright golden-brown body with a bubbly fading off-white head. It smells like apples and sweet fruits mixed with leafs and sweet malts. Not extreme in any way, but more than I had expected. The carbonation level is average and the mouthfeel is watery to mild oily. Low on the flavors. A bit sweet perhaps? Grassy-bitter hints and it's quite mouthdrying and perhaps even a bit astringent. Hints of chocolate, butter and wood actually before it just stops completely. Not something I need to try again. 04.01.2012

Bottled. Clear amber, small head. Clean tasting, dominated by crystal malt. Light bodied with clean mouthfeel. Notes of butter and caramel, low bitterness. Well drinkable while cold, as oit warms boiled vegetables creeps out.
