Klövsjö Gårdsbryggeri

Discovering Klövsjö Gårdsbryggeri

Nestled in the heart of Klövsjö, often called Sweden's most beautiful village, Klövsjö Gårdsbryggeri—or KGB—occupies a charming 1850s timber barn on Blybergsvägen. This microbrewery produces a range of craft beers, from light ales to strong brews, using time-honored techniques refined over decades by founder Jan Zackrisson, who began homebrewing in the 1990s. Gaze out the windows to the expansive Jämtland fjäll landscape while sipping fresh pours. Part of the international Économusée network, it invites visitors to witness the brewing process up close.
