- Sweden's oldest active brand celebrates the anniversary brew

Sweden's oldest brand - Carnegie Porter fills 175 years. It is celebrated with an anniversary brew with "extra things" that have been manufactured according to old traditions to mimic Carnegie Porter from the last century.

Carnegie Porter began brewed in 1836 and is one of the oldest svenskbryggda beer - who is also the oldest active trademark with decades become known worldwide. 175th anniversary will be celebrated with an Anniversary Brew, signed by Carlsberg Sweden's master brewer Daniel Eriksson and Brooklyn Breweries brew master Garrett Oliver.

- If I had been a pizza baker, I had described the brew as "extra everything". Unlike regular Carnegie Porter, who is in yeast, we have used both over-and under yeast culture to the anniversary brew. It has made the välhumlad, but fate has reduced bitterness and added flavors of vanilla, coconut and a little bourbon, says Daniel Eriksson.

In April, arrived in American bourbon barrels for Carlsberg brewery in Falkenberg, Sweden. Daniel Eriksson toiled hard with Garrett and his maker from Brooklyn to get all 130 wooden barrels in place and implement the conditioning of the brew. To help them, they had representatives from Porter Drinkers Association and employees from Carlsberg.

During the storage period was played the music for trätunnorna from an open playlist on Spotify where the public was with and influenced the choice of music. They played everything from Cole Porter, Brooklyn songs and classical music to advertising songs from the west coast buddies Pripp Blue and Falcon.

- During storage, became the beer taste richer and stronger, from the planned 6.9 percent to an end product of 8.8 percent. If it was the sound waves that impacted me to say, but the porter was developed fantastically well, says Daniel Eriksson.

A beer for aficionados - in 75-cl bottle after the beer has been on barrel aging in just over two months dropped it on beautiful 75 cl flaskor.  Ölet can advantageously be stored for several years and is well suited for meat dishes or the classic porter combination of oysters, but is also plenty to be enjoyed as it is.

- This is a beer for people who enjoy life. We chose a larger bottle with a classic cork seal to mark the anniversary brew. This was the way that beer was originally bottled. We want people to recognize themselves in the traditional and simultaneously highlight the anniversary sentiment, says Daniel Eriksson.
