For @brew_york - upcoming Stockholm trip

First off, breweries in Sweden may not sell beers for take away, at all, at any time, if the beer is stronger than 3.5% ABV.
Also, nobody may serve beers in Sweden unless they have a restaurant as well, making most breweries "just" breweries, no tap rooms etc.
There are brewpubs though, albeit not a whole lot of them.

As for brewpubs actually in the Stockholm region where you may walk in without notice, you may go to:

Nya Carnegiebryggeriet
ratebeer link
There's a free ferry to get there, but then you need to know where to get the ferry from. Also the "Tvärbanan" is currently replaced by buses, but the closest stop is "Luma".
Have free tours of the brewery day time Saturday and Sunday.
Possible to buy sample glasses from the bar inside.

Café Proviant
ratebeer link
New place, when it comes to brewing at least, bottled beers brewed at another site, draught beers brewed at the 200 liter on site Braumeister.
Close to metro station Fridhemsplan.

Monk's Café (Wallingatan)
ratebeer link
The first brewpub Stockholm has seen in a long time.
Located close to the central station.

If you venture further out, to Södertälje, they brew at
137:ans Kök & Bar
ratebeer link
I have not had the time to visit this one myself, but should be walking distance from commuter train station Södertälje Central / Centrum.

Fjäderholmarnas Bryggeri
ratebeer link
Is located on an island, and it is seasonal dependent, since the whole island pretty much is only open during summer.
Check website and make sure it is open and that the ferry actually runs.
Take the ferry from "Slussen", 130 SEK return ticket.
They can possibly take you there out of season too, but that would require that you talk to them, go on a brew day by their boat, and stay the full day until they return.
They are great guys though, and might let you work for the passage ;)


As for breweries I've been able to visit after getting in touch with them, it might work for you as well.
Just know these are production breweries with no bar, no tap room, and normally not accepting visitors unless scheduled first:

Sthlm Brewing Co.
ratebeer link
Located on Södermalm, close to Skanstull metro station.

Sundbybergs Köksbryggeri
ratebeer link
Located in Sundbyberg, walking distance from metro and commuter train station Sundbyberg Centrum.


Other bars I'd recommend in Stockholm:

NK Bar
ratebeer link
For Sweden amazing prices, nice selection of beer, usually carry some Swedish craft beers hard to find.
Located by the deli at the bottom of the NK building, close to Stockholm Central station.

Akkurat

World class place! Though I might not go all the time these days, if you have never been, it is the one place you need to visit in Stockholm, at least once.
Do you like vintage beers? Do you like sour/spontaneous fermented beers? Do you like whisky?
This place have together with a few more and an importer or two raised the knowledge of beer in Sweden more than many know.
Not cheap, I kid you not, but it can be well worth it, just bring your credit card.


If you want to buy beers and take it with you:

So this is Sweden...
You may not buy beer and take with you, ever, from any place, if stronger than 3.5% ABV.
Unless you go to the monopoly store and get it.

Fortunately in Stockholm you have a store that carry quite a bit.
Systembolaget Passagen (Regeringsgatan)

Well, a few pointers, let me know if you need more.


Also, if you take the 3½ hour train to Göteborg / Gothenburg we have quite a few breweries around, and here I have more connections and can likely get you visits more easily.
