OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Ofrälse, beer is all about what the people want to drink. We test brew extensively, both in Malmö and at our converted stable in famous Hallandsåsen – the largest wilderness in Southernmost Sweden. In Malmö, our experiments go straight from the fermentation vessel to the tap system upstairs. Here, we get direct feedback from our expert panel – the everyday beer drinkers. The best recipes are the ones that make people come back for more, and those are the beers that make it to the shelves.
A TASTE OF SWEDEN
Every beer we brew contains a majority of Swedish malt, and at least 10% Swedish hops. For us, brewing isn’t just about making great beer—it’s about making beer that belongs here. We source our ingredients locally whenever possible — whether it’s malt from the fields of Skåne, hops from an urban farm in Malmö, and apples from our own family land. Using local ingredients isn’t just about freshness; it’s a way to support independent Swedish growers and keep the countryside vibrant. It also means a smaller environmental footprint and a deeper connection to the flavors of our region.
ROOTED IN TRADITION,
DRIVEN BY CREATIVITY
We build on tradition while creating beers our community truly enjoys. Classic techniques guide us, but curiosity drives us forward. We experiment with ingredients and methods only when it adds balance, flavour or joy. Many of our best beers began as bold ideas. For us, tradition and creativity work together to make great beer.
CRAFTED SMALL, BREWED BIG
When we perfect a beer on a small scale and our guests in the Malmö tap room give it their approval, it is ready to grow. Scaling a recipe to tens of thousands of liters while keeping the same quality is a challenge, which is why we brew our larger batches together with Brygghuset Finn at our shared modern brewery in Landskrona. This lets us bring our beers to more shelves and taps without losing what makes them Ofrälse. Whether it is a test batch or a full production run, every beer follows the same philosophy. No matter the size, an Ofrälse beer always tastes like Ofrälse.
