Wermlands Brygghus

Wermlands Brygghus is a microbrewery located in Kristinehamn, Värmland, in the west of central Sweden. The brewery was founded in 2012 by Hans and Christina Skan. It is the first microbrewery in Värmland and the first operating brewery in Kristinehamn since 1957, when the then last operating brewery was taken over by Pripps and subsequently closed. Brewing started in 2013, and the first beer brewed was the Wermlands Premiärbrygd. The Wermlands Premiärbrygd was originally intended to be a one-time production, but it has since become brewed on a regular basis. Wermlands Brygghus has seen substantial growth since its founding. Yearly production was 100,000 liters in 2016, compared to 45,000 liters in 2013. By 2016, the brewery had two full-time employees and two part-time employees. The brewery moved from its first premises outside Kristinehamn to much larger premises near the train station in Kristinehamn in 2017. The new place measures 700 square meters, with 10 meters in ceiling height. The brewery is now housed one of the old brick buildings belonging to former turbine-producer Kristinehamn Turbin AB (now Blue Future Turbine AB). The building dates back to 1913 and is part of the local industrial heritage.
