Jackdaw Brewery
In Uppsala, Jackdaw Brewery has long embodied the spirit of a nano-brewery: small-scale, with a distinct artisanal identity and a primarily local distribution. Open-source information confirms the existence of a taproom and brewing activity in Uppsala, as well as a closure mentioned in 2023. As for the beers, public data is more fragmentary, but Argousier clearly stands out as a 12% saison, a top-fermented beer with a more vinous and experimental profile than a classic farmhouse ale. The most reliable picture, therefore, remains that of a niche operation, recognised more for its independent character and unique brews than for a standardised, widely distributed range.
Slottskällans Bryggeri
Based in Uppsala, Slottskällans Bryggeri is part of a demanding craft tradition with a strong local identity. Pale Ale (~5.2%) offers citrus and floral notes; IPA (~6.4%) emphasises resin and tropical fruits; Imperial Stout (~8.5%) features coffee, cocoa and dark fruits. The brewery emphasises high-quality ingredients and clean fermentation, producing beers that are well-structured yet approachable. The range reflects a classic approach to Swedish craft brewing, where technical precision and consistency are paramount.
