About the brewery
The brewery is located in Ljungsbro outside Linköping, 800 metres from the ruins of Sweden's oldest monastery - Vreta Kloster - which was founded in 1101. In the monastery ruins, archaeologists have found what is believed to have been the nuns' brewing cabin. Here the nuns brewed, drank and donated beer to the poor.

In the Middle Ages, beer was brewed in monasteries (and every other farm) in parts of Europe where wine was not produced. Not surprisingly, beer was both nutritious (liquid bread) and boiled during production. In other words, beer was safe to drink, unlike water, which was dirty.

With a penchant for Belgian beer styles and the brewery's location in the parish of Vreta Abbey, it was obvious that the brewery should have a nun with a beer stein adorning the logo. Not least because the close connection between beer and monasteries in Belgium is often illustrated with images of monks or medieval men. It's simply time for "more nun beer for the people!"
