Scotland’s largest independent brewery, Brewdog has opened BrewDog Gothenburg, its second craft beer bar in Sweden and 17th worldwide. Situated at Kungsgatan 10, 411 19 Gothenburg, the new bar is BrewDog’s fourth bar launch of 2014, following openings in São Paulo, Tokyo and Sheffield. The brewery opened its first Swedish bar in Stockholm last May.
BrewDog Gothenburg has capacity for 100 people and an additional 20 in a separate tasting room, and will feature 18 beers on tap. As tradition, Gothenburg will not only showcase the brewery’s own beers, but also the best craft beers from breweries all over the world with Guest craft beers including: Brekeriet, Beerbibliotek, Mikkeller, To Øl, Poppels, Coronado, Omnipollo, CAP, Ballast Point and Brew By Numbers to name a few.
Regular events such as ‘Meet the Brewer’, and brew sessions will be held at the bar for customers to learn about and discuss craft beer, and hearty rustic Swedish cuisine will be on offer in the bar, a speciality of the head chef, Magnus “Honken” Holmqvist.
