South Plains - Burning Witches Brew

The Burning Witches Brew was your fourth beer and was launched in 2013. They were the first brewery in Sweden to brew a Black IPA. The name of the style is something wrong, because how can something be black and pale at the same time? There was so much confusion about the Black IPA name in the United States that the beer judges created a new category called "Dark Cascadian Ale". At the Gothenberg Porter Festival it is called "Indian Porter". The blonde woman, who burns in the logo, was created by illustrator Randy Lillegaard Larsen, an old friend who usually outlines elves and fairies for Lego in Denmark. When we first submitted the label to Systembolaget, you thought there was a good chance they could decline because it is a bit offensive and a blonde woman is on fire. But they really liked it because burning witches is a historical part of Sweden. In seven years you have made 12 batches of this beer, varying in size from the 900, 1200 or 2500 liter fermenter, and each bottle is labeled with the batch number near the expiration date. After six years, this is still very popular.
