Omnipollo

For years, Omnipollo operated as a gypsy brewery, designing recipes and brewing at partner facilities across Europe. That changed in 2020 when they opened their own brewery inside a converted church in Stockholm. The setting suits a brand that treats brewing as something close to religious devotion.

Production now approaches a million litres annually, with most brewed at the church facility. The range spans countless styles, from imperial stouts aged in bourbon barrels to sour beers bursting with fruit. Nothing is off limits if it serves the beer.

Omnipollo's visual identity, courtesy of Grandin's art direction, made the brand instantly recognisable. Bold, surreal, sometimes unsettling can designs stand out in any bottle shop. The aesthetic earned them international following before many drinkers had tasted a drop.

Their alcohol-free offerings remain limited but follow the same boundary-pushing philosophy. Sour styles and experimental approaches appear in the NA range, aimed at drinkers who want craft creativity without the alcohol.

Beyond Sweden, Omnipollo operates bars in Hamburg and Tokyo, extending their reach across continents. European shipping is available direct from their website. Not a brand for the faint-hearted, and not trying to be.
