Established in 1992, the Stockholm Beer and Whisky Festival quickly became ranked as one of the world’s largest — and most prestigious — alcoholic beverage festivals. This annual event was created as a direct challenge to the state regulator’s attempts for the past 80 years to quash the beer and whiskey business in the Sweden. It was not until 1988 that local breweries begin to produce signature beers again, and now over 40 Swedish labels are offered, most of which will be exhibited during the festival.
In all, over 1300 different types of whiskies, beers, calvados and cider from all over the world will be available for sampling with experts available for consultation by connoisseurs and novices alike. Of course, no one wants to drink on an empty stomach, so a large part of the exhibits feature delicious dishes that pairs beautifully with the various spirits being offered.
Prizes are awarded for best of category, a coveted distinction that brings the a fierce level of competition to the exhibitions, and since the judges put much weight on the opinions of the attendees, companies will go to extravagant links to impress the audience. Seminars, cooking classes and presentations will further enlighten visitors about the role of fine alcoholic beverages in international cuisine. To ramp up the fun, live music and entertainment will be featured at many venues.
