"This smoothie sour is just A Lil’ Stoopid, by our standards at least… Still jam-packed with strawberry, blackberry, creamy coconut, and that signature thicc-ness, but with the Stoopidity dialled down a notch.

"Welcome to the SMOOTH series: round, fruity, ultra-sensory beers. Liurnia is sweetness under tension, a tropical juice where apricot melts into the acidity of mango, carried by a velvety texture. On the finish, notes of coconut and vanilla. A smoothie for adults?"

"A bold pastry sour with a high starting gravity of 30°P. The inspiration came from the Elmeleven team’s trip to Poland, where they first tried a traditional Polish blueberry bun – a flavor they couldn’t forget. We decided to recreate it in a beer form. A generous amount of blueberries on a sweet malt base, finished with the aroma of soft, freshly baked buns, creates an intense blueberry profile. The deep, natural color of the berries completes the experience."

"Carrot Cake returns! For the second time we used carrot purée, this time in a more complex composition in collaboration with Mikkeller. The sweetness and texture of mango take the lead, while citrus fruits add bright acidity and a fresh aroma. Carrot brings a rustic, slightly earthy sweet note. The whole profile is rounded out by the dessert-like aroma of eggnog – sweet cream, vanilla and warming spices. It’s an intense, juicy pastry sour with a rich, dessert-inspired character."

"One of three beers promoting the Beer Geek Madness 2026 festival brewed with Fauve. A playful pastry sour built on an original fruit combination that blends with a creamsicle-like character and the sweetness of toasted pecans. Brewed in collaboration with the French brewery Fauve, known for their love of this beer style. Expect noticeable sweetness balanced by fermentation acidity and the bright sourness of added lemons. Thick, slightly pink and dessert-like – a perfect fit for the upcoming spring season."
