Boutique Bar Brands has teamed up with importers Proof Drinks to introduce a range of beers to the UK from Swedish brewer Gotlands Bryggeri.
The company will offer three beers from the craft brewery, which is situated on the island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea, 50 miles off Sweden’s southeastern coast. Sleepy Bulldog pale ale, Sitting Bulldog IPA and Wisby Pils will be made available to on-trade operators on draught and in 330ml bottles.
4.8% ABV Sleepy Bulldog is a distinctively bitter pale ale with malt-roasted tones and a long and fruity aftertaste; 6.4% ABV Sitting Bulldog has an aroma of gooseberries, passionfruit, dried figs and roasted malt and delivers a bitter, rich flavour with a hint of honey for balance; while the 5% ABV Wisby Pils has a hoppy bitterness to the palate with a balanced richness and lingering aftertaste that puts you in mind of toffee, Boutique Bar Brands explained.
Boutique Bar Brands’ Phil Harding added: “Boutique Bar Brands are very proud to add Sweden’s premium craft brewer to their portfolio. Gotlands have got a great history and provenance and their range of beers is fantastic. We have already had a lot of positive interest from the trade and we are sure that we can quickly establish Gotlands as the UK’s number one Swedish brewery. We believe that the beers will have a wide appeal to both the large expat community and the discerning British beer drinker.”
