It is a delight to follow the development of Mikkellers non-alcoholic jultolkning, which is to be adjusted and improved from year to year. The fruktpackade the body accompanied elegant of tones of ginger and nutmeg that almost gives a ”alkoholvarm” feeling. Spirited hops lightens up even if the whole is both full-bodied and finishing a little sweet. A good beer that works throughout the holiday season.

Among the storbryggerierna has Mariestad always interesting with its well-balanced non-alcoholic beer with stylish humlefräschör and a not-so-sweet mouth feel. Julölet has a full-bodied karamellrostad maltkropp and restrained humlefräschör. A good allroundöl that fits both the herring and köttbullen. However, it may be experienced a little malttung if matmatchningen missing.

Nutmeg, caraway, carnation, vanilla and färskrivet orange peel. Search jultolkning is välkryddad, dark with plenty of roasted malt and maxat with hops. As usual, the successful brewery to harmonize the flavors. This style hear the christmas table and what better up against the table’s småvarma dishes, spicy snaps and peppery gingerbread?

Brown ale is together with the dark layer of the very matvänligaste ölstilarna during Sweden’s darker half. Thus making these the most useful julölsstilarna. Fantombryggarna Ida engström’s and Peter robertson’s vintertolkning has a dark kavring and kaffesmakande maltkropp with apelsinpiggt humlebett. Better to hot dishes than to the herring.

Nyköpingsbryggeriets julnyhet is created with inspiration from the british ölstilen ”mild”, which indicates a moderate bitterness and a slightly lower alcoholic strength. However, still with great maltfokus – here are both the dried fruit and sirapsdoftande bread. Restrained bitterness making this a nice match against julbordets many saltsöta elements.

Theres a quiz in the christmas? What is the name of the ”bow” which decorate both the cap and the bottle label from Gotlands brewery? The answer is ”Drotten” – after the gothic bågvalven on the ruin to the catholic parish church, the 800-year-old neighbor, in the middle of Visby. The beer is a dark, elegant layers with a fine rondör and careful humlekryddning. Nice to both the marinated salmon and the senapssillen.

the Heavily roasted and almost a stout-like Brew Dogs julbidrag. A contribution that should serve as an ”antidote to the spirit of christmas chaos” and invite a call to instead enjoy the tranquility. The burnt greediest and the dry, dark chokladtonerna marries nicely with the julbordets herring and salmon. Plus in the edge of the snapsvänliga alcoholic strength.

A completely organic christmas ale (both hops and malt), a humlemättad ipa from Sigtuna brygghus. A roasted maltkropp to be balanced up with lots of humlearom. Here is pine needles, resin and orange peel. To match the food, you should take it carefully with the sweetest dishes, then the bitterness from the amplified, betting instead on the fat and salt that will get humlefrukten to turn flips.

What do you get if you spice up a brown ale with ginger, clove, cinnamon and vanilla? A beer with a taste of gingerbread! And that certainly is tastier than it might sound. Ginger breaks through with the freshness and spiciness, which balances a dense, black, chocolaty maltkropp. A beer to serve out the large cup in front of the warm fire, and perhaps even invite the elf on the.

”the Nordic heart and southern soul” is the catchphrase for hantverksbryggeriet on the island of Ekerö. NKB brews exclusively with hops from the brewers ‘ home country of New Zealand. The only beer (small breweries) in the large julölssläppet stand out, both in taste and form. This is not a traditional christmas beer, forget it sweet and malttunga and enjoy, instead, a fresh, vinterkrispig bitter with big portions of hops.
