Time has flown since we partnered up with Carlsberg to construct our joint venture brewery, Nya Carnegiebryggeriet, in Stockholm, Sweden. On April 30 at 6 PM, our comrades at our sister brewery will be throwing their doors open to welcome guests to their first anniversary celebration in their Tasting Room. Congratulations are in order, and you know that means there’s a party in the works.
The teams at Nya Carnegie had some fun coming up with plans for the day. The bar and restaurant staff decided the anniversary beer should be an experimental Belgian blonde brewed with grapefruit. They pitched in on brew day, zesting a small mountain of grapefruits by hand to add to the kettle and juicing the grapefruits to add to the whirlpool. Not to be outdone, the brewing team got together and went through every dish Chef Billy White and his crew prepared this year. They distilled their favorites down to create a “greatest hits” sampling menu for the night, charting the restaurant’s continued growth.
It will be a night of great beer, excellent food, and plenty of good cheer. Brooklyn Brewery co-founder and chairman Steve Hindy will be in attendance as well, proving that this party is worth a transatlantic flight.So if you find yourself in Hammarby on April 30, follow your nose and the noise and join us at Nya Carnegie’s first anniversary party. We’ve had a terrific year working with them, and we’re all excited to see what else the future holds for us and our Stockholm family.
