One of the best Swedish Spring beers ever produced will soon be available all year round. That’s right – Amarillo Spring, the beer I urged you to throw all the food out of your fridge for back in February this year is making a comeback under the shortened name Oppigårds Amarillo.
This seismic bit of news was casually mentioned in the brewery’s latest email newsletter and seems to have slipped under the radar of most other beer bloggers so just so we’re all clear on this AMARILLO SPRING IS SOON GOING TO BE AVAILABLE ALL YEAR ROUND!!!!
Aren’t you excited? You should be because this Swedish produced American pale ale (the 5th highest ranked APA in the world according to RateBeer) is one of the best beers to come out of this country – period! When it was released at the Systembolaget back in the spring it was only available for three months so many of you may have missed out on the opportunity to try it. Well now it seems as though you’re going to get a second chance, with the brewery informing me that it will start brewing Amarillo from next week for sale on draft in selected restaurants and then as a ‘beställningsvara’ (order product) via the monopoly.
The exact date when Amarillo will be available to order is not yet known but as soon as I find out rest assured you’ll read about it here first.
What a great bit of good news to start the week off with!
Happy Monday everyone.
It was a ticking bomb considering its immense popularity…
Nice!!!
Hands down my favorite Swedish beer in Systembolaget. This is genius!
Made my month this has!!
Ehm.. maybe you’re not reading all the blogs then??

You’re 16 days late.. but I forgive you since it’s a fantastic beer and deserves the attention
Thanks Dempa. It seems that living out in my internet-free cabin deep in the forest for the past couple of weeks has left me a little out of the loop. All cred to you for picking this up so quickly. Great news isn’t it!
And it was confirmed again, almost a week ago, in the second part of my interview with Oppigårds founder Björn Falkeström. But I will, yet again, repeat what Dempa said: It’s such a great beer that the news of it’s return deserves to mentioned again and again
