Stockholm Beer and Whisky Festival and Competition

All beers featured at the BA Booth at the festival will be submitted to the Festival’s International Beer Competition. Deadline for beers to arrive at the Boulder, Colo. warehouse is August 11th and August 18-19th for the East Coast location.

This will be the BA’s tenth appearance at the Stockholm Beer & Whisky Festival, one of Europe’s largest trade and consumer shows. Previous visits have resulted in new distribution for U.S. craft beers in Sweden’s retail monopoly, the local on-premise sector, and elsewhere in Scandinavia.

The BA will cover the entry cost and a consolidated shipment of beer via air freight from the Brewers Association to Sweden for Export Development Program members for up to three brands (bottles and cans only) per brewery.
