Here’s the official press release from Brooklyn:
BROOKLYN, NY—Brooklyn Brewery, D. Carnegie & Co., and Carlsberg Sweden today announced the launch of a new brewery and restaurant in central Stockholm.
The Brooklyn- New Carnegie Brewery will be built in the landmarked Luma Factory buildings in Hammarby Sjöstad , a residential and commercial complex that fronts on Stockholm harbor. The waterfront brewery will have brewing capacity for 8,000 BBL’s and restaurant capacity for 100 visitors inside and another 150 visitors outside.
The Brooklyn Brewery will manage and operate the project through a wholly owned Swedish subsidiary, and Brooklyn Brewmaster Garrett Oliver and his team will be brewing special Brooklyn beers and developing new beers for the New Carnegie brand. “We love Stockholm, and the whole Brooklyn brewing team is looking forward to their stints at Brooklyn-New Carnegie. We’re going to have a lot of fun brewing and creating beers with our Swedish team,” said Oliver.
In 2011, the Brooklyn Brewery collaborated with Carnegie to produce a bourbon barrel-aged version of the world classic beer Carnegie Porter to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the Carnegie Brewery.
“We distributed Carnegie Porter years ago in New York,” said Brooklyn Brewery Chief Operating Officer Eric Ottaway, who is spearheading the project for the Brooklyn Brewery. “We have great respect for the tradition that Carnegie represents, and we look forward to developing the portfolio of beers.”
Joakim Losin, CEO of New Carnegie, said the brewery and restaurant would be a meeting place for Sweden’s craft brewers and their followers, and a school for Swedish beer lovers to learn more about craft beer. The new brewery/restaurant will be open for tours and regular lunches and dinners. It also will host special events in a demonstration kitchen.
Carnegie is the oldest trademark in Sweden. The company was purchased by Carlsberg when it bought the Pripps Brewery in 2001, and Carlsberg Sweden was established.
Brooklyn Brewery brands have been imported by Carlsberg Sweden since 2006. Sweden is the largest export market for the Brooklyn Brewery.
Brooklyn ships many of its bottled beers to Sweden, including its flagship Brooklyn Lager and its 750-ml bottle-conditioned beers like Brooklyn Local 1 and Brooklyn Sorachi Ace. It also ships tankers of beer to
Sweden which are kegged in Falkenberg. Brooklyn Lager and Brooklyn East India Pale Ale are available on draft all over Sweden.
Brooklyn Brewery is America’s leading craft beer exporter. Brooklyn also has a joint venture partnership with the Amarcord Brewery in Apecchio, Italy. Brooklyn imports Amarcord’s Ama Bionda and Ama Bruna beers to the United States.

Interesting news as Brooklyn Brewery will be working with Carlsberg to open a new brewery in Stockholm Sweden. Sweden is one of Brooklyn’s largest markets (2nd only to the U.S.) and the new small-scale brewery will recreate the original 1836 Carnegie beer among other small-batch beers. Forgive the translation from Alltomat.se:
This would probably not have been able to uncover some of their ölprofetior for 2013 - although it seems to be true. Carnegie - one of the oldest brands in Sweden - will be resurrected as a brewery. And not only that, the brewery will be driven not only by giant Carlsberg Group but also of American Brooklyn Brewery. In a microbrewery somewhere in Stockholm built Hammarby Sjöstad south of Södermalm in Stockholm. How does that sound?
The beer Carnegie stems from 1836 when the then 33 year old company, Carnegie bought a porter brewery in Gothenburg. Since then, ownership has undergone many changes and for some years owned trademark of Carnegie Group Carlsberg Sweden. Carlsberg Sweden also has a partnership with American Brooklyn Brewery - a collaboration that led to the borough's second largest market is .... Sweden.
And now it seems to be more of that. Company D Carnegie (now an investors club) were required along with Carlsberg Sweden and Brooklyn Brewery will start a new Carnegie Brewery and this in the form of a micro-brewery in Stockholm. The brewery will be a brewery, a restaurant and a ölskole-site and will be located in an industrial building in the functionalist style, located directly adjacent to both the ferry and the track line in Hammarby.
- New Carnegie brewery will be a new brewery that combines history, innovation and quality. I see the brewery as a manifestation and celebration of our Swedish beer culture which is again flourishing. Carnegie Porter is one of the oldest brand and I hear the clear history when we take the first step to create a brewery, says Joakim Losin, CEO of New Carnegie brewery.
