Ystad Bryggeri

Ystad Bryggeri is one of the older micro breweries in southern Sweden, being established "already" in 1996. The brewery is situated in a beautiful old building which also serves as a restaurant and a pub, with an atmospheric inner court yard where you can eat and drink during the warmer parts of the year.


We ordered a table in advance, which looked like a good idea as there were a lot of customers, both drinking and eating. The food was OK, but the service slow (even though the girl serving us was nice and friendly).


The brewery could be visited inside and consisted of the obligatory two tanks made of shining copper, but since there was noone around who was actually involved in the brewing process, looking them over had to suffice for this visit.


Out of the brewery's three beers, we tried two (see reviews in earlier posts) but were not overly enamoured with them. The third, a new IPA, first turned out to only be available on bottles, but when we (reluctantly) ordered that, we were told that we should reconsider as other customers had complained that it was sour... Extra points for telling us, but frustrating not to get to try it.

Overall, the visit was a bit of a let-down and I will probably not seek out this micro brewery again very soon.
