Åbro Bryggeri

Åbro Bryggeri was founded in 1856 just outside Vimmerby in Småland. Back then it was called "Bayerska bryggeriet". Since 1898 it has been family owned, and it is now on to its 4th generation. They claim that the water they take from their own spring is one of their most important supplies. Åbro's logo
