CBC Pilsner as CBC Classic Lager in Sweden

Cape Brewing Company is partly owned by the Swedish brewery Åbro. The collaboration between the Åbro brewer Lennarth Anemyr and CBC Wolfgang Ködel has been very fruitful. A couple of weeks ago I got the news that CBC beers was to be exported to Sweden and released sometimes during September.

According to CBC they could export around 100 000 liters of beer to Sweden but will only do so if they get a container load order. The beers are labelled as CBC Classic Lager but it is CBC Pilsner in the bottles. A bit confusing maybe but marketing and sales is part of the game. I am happy as long as it is great beers in the bottles.

The CBC Classic Lager is going to be released (in 440 ml bottles) on September 2 in Systembolaget stores around Sweden (cost: SEK 16.90 around ZAR 25).
