USA & Sweden: The Brooklyn Brewery installs new brewery in collaboration with Carlsberg in Sweden

The Brooklyn Brewery, in partnership with Carlsberg Sweden and a group of private investors, has begun deploying fermenters and a brew house at The New Carnegie Brewery in Stockholm, Sweden, Drinks Business Review reported on September 27.

Swedish subsidiary of Brooklyn Brewery is the operating partner of this project.

Slated to open in early 2014, the new brewery will have a capacity of 300,000 litres in the first year and will further be expanded to a million litres annual production.

Brooklyn Brewery brewmaster Garrett Oliver said that they want New Carnegie to be a beacon for craft beer culture in northern Europe.

"New Carnegie will produce craft beers with a Scandinavian accent," Oliver added.

Carlsberg owns the brands of the Swedish Carnegie Brewery. Carlsberg also imports Brooklyn Brewery beers to Sweden.

Brooklyn Brewery will continue to ship packaged beer and tankers of beer to Sweden, but will brew some special beers at New Carnegie.

It has also distributed the classic Carnegie Porter beer in New York and Massachusetts.

Project general manager Fredrik Vogel said: "We also are pleased to announce we have hired the Swedish brewing team, which is training at Brooklyn Brewery in Brooklyn, NY this year."
