Left Hand Brewing Expands International Distribution into Sweden

Left Hand Brewing Expands International Distribution into SwedenFrom Left Hand:

LONGMONT, CO . Dec. 4, 2018Left Hand Brewing Co., a pioneer in craft beer innovation through its nitro technology, has partnered with Great Brands to expand its international distribution into Sweden. Beginning this month, Left Hand Brewing’s flagship brand, Milk Stout Nitro, will be available in Systembolaget in 12oz-bottles.

Left Hand’s Milk Stout Nitro is the number one selling craft stout in the U.S. Pouring hard out of the bottle, Milk Stout Nitro cascades beautifully, building a tight, thick head like hard whipped cream. The aroma is of brown sugar and vanilla cream, with hints of roasted coffee. At 6% ABV, the initial roasty, mocha flavors rise up with slight hop and roast bitterness in the finish. The rest is pure bliss of milk chocolate fullness.

“We’re thrilled to introduce craft beer enthusiasts in Sweden to Left Hand Brewing and Milk Stout Nitro,” said Jill Preston, director of marketing at Left Hand Brewing. “Nitro beer is an experience in and of itself. It starts with a mesmerizing cascade and culminates in a super smooth encounter with each and every sip. It’s important to remember to hard pour from the bottle at 180-degrees into a 16oz glass in order to activate the nitrogen and achieve the optimal drinking experience.”

In 2011, Left Hand became the first American craft brewery to encapsulate the nitro draft experience when it debuted Milk Stout Nitro in the bottle. The innovation continued in 2016 when Left Hand introduced the first U.S.-made nitro widget cans, allowing nitro fans to take these smooth and creamy beers on the go.

“We have had a long relationship with Left Hand and Milk Stout was the reason in the beginning, so to being able to introduce Milk Stout Nitro across Sweden is amazing. It will be a fun adventure to make America’s Stout into Sweden’s Stout of choice!” said Jörgen Hasselqvist, co-founder and marketing manager at Great Brands.
