Crafting the perfect stout for the winter

Nailing the flavor profile

Caldic Brew Nordic's Sales & Marketing Manager, Jonas Schilén, proudly recalls a recent customer collaboration that brought warmth to a brewery’s winter lineup. The customer, known for its expertise in fruity and light ales, had set its sights on darker, ‘maltier’ brews - specifically, smooth and approachable imperial stouts for the colder months. 

“They had the brewing know-how and experience,” Jonas begins, “but when it came to getting that profile just right, they hit a bit of a wall. That’s when they turned to us.” 

Unmatched brewing expertise

What followed was a deep dive into various formulations thanks to our wide range of brew ingredients and equipment. With the help of our team's exceptional brewing capabilities, we can tailor the support we offer our customers. “Ultimately, it’s about delivering beer solutions that cater to the growing demand for a diverse range of beer styles,” he explains. 

A combined 40 years of brewery experience in our team proved sufficient in guiding the brewery in the right direction. “We recommended a precise combination of roasted malts and unmalted cereals to hit the flavor notes they were after,” Jonas recalls. But it wasn’t just about the ingredients. They were also advised on how to work with the new malt quantities effectively, which made a big difference in the brewing process. 

From fine-tuning the recipe to developing prototypes and supporting the manufacturing phase, we were involved every step of the way.  

“Understanding our customer's development journey helps us to co-create beer recipes that can be enjoyed across the seasons.”

The result was a successful seasonal stout that hit shelves in time for winter - rich, smooth, and exactly what the brewer had envisioned. “It was incredibly rewarding to see an idea come to life and know we helped make it happen,” Jonas says.
