A Craft Brewery Born from Passion
Brewski represents the modern craft beer movement in Sweden, built on a foundation of quality, creativity, and community. Located in the heart of Helsingborg, the brewery has earned an international reputation for its innovative approach to beer production and its commitment to showcasing both local and global brewing talent. The operation spans two distinct spaces: the production brewery on Cindersgatan and the vibrant Barski taproom in downtown Helsingborg, creating a complete experience for beer enthusiasts and curious visitors alike.The Barski Taproom Experience
Barski serves as Brewski's public-facing venue, situated at Norra Storgatan 16 in downtown Helsingborg. The taproom features approximately 20 rotating taps, carefully curated to balance Brewski's own creations with selections from other local, national, and international breweries. This thoughtful approach ensures that visitors encounter both familiar favorites and exciting new discoveries. Beyond beer, Barski offers smash burgers and seasonal cocktails, creating a complete food and beverage destination. The venue features both indoor seating and outdoor patio space, providing flexibility for different seasons and preferences. The atmosphere blends casual approachability with genuine craft focus, welcoming everyone from seasoned beer enthusiasts to those exploring craft beer for the first time.Brewskival: A Global Celebration of Craft Beer
Brewski's most significant contribution to the international beer community is Brewskival, an annual craft beer festival held in late August. The festival takes place on the brewery grounds and has grown to attract approximately 120 hand-picked breweries from across the globe, including participants from North America, Europe, Asia, and the Nordic region. Over three days, visitors explore world-class beers, meet the brewers behind them, and discover new favorites. The festival extends beyond beer, featuring street food vendors offering diverse cuisines. A special bonus day on Sunday offers a more relaxed atmosphere with remaining selections from the main festival days. The event has established itself as a must-visit destination for beer lovers worldwide, reflecting Brewski's standing within the international craft beer community.Community and Local Integration
Brewski operates as more than a commercial enterprise; it functions as a cultural hub within Helsingborg. The brewery actively supports local food vendors and regularly hosts events at Barski, including themed evenings with DJs and seasonal programming. The "Beats & Beers" events, particularly during paycheck weekends, transform Barski into a social gathering space where music, craft beer, and community converge. This integration into local culture reflects Brewski's philosophy of being a gathering place rather than simply a consumption venue.Accessibility and Location
Situated in downtown Helsingborg, Brewski benefits from excellent accessibility. The Barski taproom is located in the northeastern corner of Norra Storgatan and Nedre Långvinkelsgatan, within walking distance of major city landmarks. The brewery's central position makes it easily reachable by public transportation, with multiple bus routes serving the area. The location emphasizes Brewski's role as an integrated part of Helsingborg's urban fabric rather than a peripheral destination.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
