Welcome to the extraordinary world of Ofrälse! Founded by three beer aficionados, Hampus, Adam, and Simon, our journey began during our time studying at Lund University. It all started in a humble corridor kitchen at a place called Parentesen, where our passion for brewing ignited. With a shared love for crafting exceptional beers that are accessible to all, we set out on a mission to create brews that would delight the taste buds of the common people. The name Ofrälse perfectly encapsulates our vision, as it translates to "the common people" in Swedish. We believe that everyone deserves to enjoy great beer without a hefty price tag.
As we tinkered and experimented in that corridor kitchen, our dedication and creativity led us to develop unique flavors and styles that set our beers apart. The response from our friends and fellow students was overwhelming, and that's when we realized we had something truly special brewing. Fast forward to today, and Ofrälse has made its mark on the Swedish beer scene.
Our focus remains unwavering – to bring you top-notch brews that deliver exceptional flavor, quality, and affordability. We believe that great beer should be enjoyed by all, from the everyday beer connoisseur to the casual sipper. With each sip of an Ofrälse beer, you become part of our hoppy revolution, raising a glass to the common people who appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship behind every brew. So, join us on this exciting beer filled adventure, and together, let's celebrate the spirit of the Ofrälse - cheers to every single Ofrälse out there!

INGREDIENT SELECTION
At Ofrälse, our approach to ingredient selection is like curating a masterpiece. Each ingredient plays a vital role in shaping the flavors and character of our beers, and we take great care in choosing the perfect elements to create exceptional brews.
Our journey begins with the malt. We meticulously select the finest malts, sourcing them from trusted suppliers who share our commitment to quality. These malts form the backbone of our beers, providing a solid foundation and a touch of sweetness that balances the flavors.
Next, we turn our attention to the hops. We seek out hops with unique aromas and distinct profiles that can transform our beers into something truly extraordinary. Whether it's the floral and citrusy notes of Cascade, the tropical fruitiness of Citra, or the earthy spice of Saaz, each hop variety is chosen with purpose to create a harmonious blend of flavors and aromas.
Water, often overlooked, holds immense importance in our brewing process. We carefully analyze and adjust the water chemistry to ensure optimal balance and consistency. The purity and composition of the water impact the mouthfeel, clarity, and overall taste of the beer, making it a vital ingredient in our quest for perfection.
And finally, we embrace the power of yeast. Our yeast strains are carefully selected to bring out the desired characteristics in our beers. Whether it's a clean and crisp profile for a pilsner or a fruity and estery profile for an IPA, the yeast transforms the sugars into alcohol and imparts its unique flavors, adding depth and complexity to our brews.
With our ingredient selection, we aim to create a symphony of flavors that captivate the senses and leave a lasting impression. We constantly experiment, pushing boundaries to discover new and exciting combinations that surprise and delight our customers.
Every ingredient is chosen with purpose and care, reflecting our commitment to quality and our dedication to brewing beers that embody the spirit of Ofrälse. We invite you to join us on this flavorful journey, where each sip tells a story of craftsmanship, passion, and the art of brewing. Cheers to the ingredients that make our beers truly exceptional!
