Sofiero

Sofiero is one of the best-known and best-selling Swedish lagers – a brand with a history stretching back to 1888 that owes its unmistakable name to the royal Sofiero Palace in Helsingborg, which King Oscar II once gave to his consort Queen Sofia as a gift and which has gone down in Swedish history as one of the most beautiful summer palaces in the country and as a place of royal garden culture. Originally brewed by the Sofiero Bryggeri in Laholm, the brand was acquired by Kopparbergs Bryggeri AB in 2000 – the Swedish family company from Kopparberg best known worldwide for its celebrated Kopparberg cider, which has since continued to brew the Sofiero beers with unchanged quality and tradition. Sofiero Original 5.2% has been one of the best-selling beers at the Swedish Systembolaget since 2002 and earned a silver medal at the World Beer Cup in 2004 – an international accolade that impressively underlines the brand's high quality standards.

Sofiero Original 5.2% presents itself in a clear, golden-yellow tone with a stable white head, where a pleasant aroma of pale malt, fresh bread and subtle floral hop notes gives way to a full-bodied, well-balanced malty palate with fine grain spiciness and a restrained, pleasant hop bitterness that finishes in a fresh, clean and refreshingly drinkable close. The Sofiero range is available in various alcohol strengths – from the light Sofiero 2.8% through the classic Sofiero Original 5.2% to the full-bodied Sofiero Guld 7.5% – offering the right Swedish lager experience for every occasion and every taste.

As a beer that bears the name of a royal summer palace and has stood for uncomplicated Swedish beer quality for over 135 years, Sofiero is far more than an ordinary lager – it is a piece of Swedish culture and brewing history that expresses the Scandinavian brewing philosophy of clarity, freshness and artisanal honesty in every sip, and as one of the most popular and familiar Swedish beers has secured its permanent place in Nordic beer culture.
