The brewery was founded in 1856 by Lieutenant Per W Luthander. The brewery was purchased in 1898 by brewer Axel Herman Johansson and it is still owned by the family. Despite, or perhaps because of, that we are the country's oldest family brewery, we have always focused on development. Our large production investments have resulted in one of Europe's most modern breweries, with the high and consistent quality is guaranteed by our own water source since 1856.
