It’s certainly the season of giving at Sigtuna Bryggeri as it announces the launch of another new beer just two days after releasing details of its upcoming ESB (Extra Sigtuna Bitter).

This time it’s Sigtuna East River Lager, a 5.2% ABV amber-coloured lager that Head Brewer Mattias Hammenlind promises will have a fresh, floral hoppy aroma and a toffee-like malt body.

The beer, which is due to be released in the Swedish Systembolaget in March next year, will be dry hopped with US Vanguard. Sigtuna recommends pairing it with traditional Swedish food as well as pizza.

As with their ESB label Sigtuna are featuring another famous bridge on the front of their East River Lager, this time the Brooklyn Bridge in New York.

Restaurant owners who don’t want to wait until March can order bottles from Brill.
