Brekeriet - Swedish sour masters

Brekeriet is a small craft brewery based since 2015 in Landskrona, Sweden.

The brewery was started in Djurslöv, a small village outside of Malmö, in 2012 by brothers Fredrik, Christian and André Ek. 

Brekeriet are currently the only brewery in Sweden to ferment solely with wild yeast and/or bacteria, the brothers also utilise secondary fermentation over fruit and berries.

With a background in business and food engineering, the trio originally owned and ran a beer import firm always with the goal to start there own brewery.

Brekeriet state their aim is to create complex, authentic and rustic farmhouse ales with a handcrafted nature that permeates the beers. 

Much of the fermentation and limited brews are still done at the Djurslöv premises including: use of wild yeasts, brettanomyces and saccharomyces, and lactic acid bacteria cultures. While the "Sour Patch" range are produced in Landskrona.
