[edit] Beer
Pripps Blå, lit. Pripps Blue, is a light lager first introduced in 1959 and is said to be one of the most popular beers in Sweden[1], even though its taste is without doubt inferior and the beer has the nickname "Pripps Blä", lit. "Pripps yuk" among several swedish beerdrinkers
Pripps Blå is an inexpensive beer, due to its use of exactly 51% barley - the minimum amount of barley required by law in beer in Sweden. A low calorie version called Pripps Blå Light[2] is also made. Other versions are Pripps Blå Extra Stark[3] a full malt, extra strong beer at 7.2% alcohol and Pripps Blå Pure[4] with less carbohydrate, scheduled to replace Pripps Blå Light.
[edit] Brewery
The beers are brewed at Carlsberg Sverige.
