Some explanations

This pub guide on Uppsala Top Beer Places, is compiled and updated from how fun Beertil think it is to visit these places from a craft beer point of view. Places with lower ratings can naturally be very good from other points of views.

Neither Food, Whiskey, Wine nor Drink selections are included in the ratings. Ratings are considered over time, some places vary, some don’t. If not otherwise stated references are made to beers coming from craft beer breweries.

Highest rating is 20. Rating stated before the name of the place. The name of a place is clickable to reach the place’s website.

OS = Outdoor seating summertime or when the weather allows. 

BREWPUB = A brewery including a pub.

CONCEPT = The place has a certain concept.

U = The place has the beer selection listed on Untappd. In case you do not have the app, google the name of the place and the name Untappd.

RA = Real Ales are being served

W = Also specializes in a great Whisky selection. (Other places may very well have a fine Whisky selection too).

🐕= Dogs welcome

Current: More or less temporary alterations or reductions on a place are given in blue below the previous text block. These details may sometimes show to change very quickly – or sometimes takes a long time.

 

Further details:

  • Some places may be closed Sundays and/or Mondays.
  • During the summer (June, July and August) some places have a bit more limited selection on tap and in bottle/can.
  • At more and more places you are welcome to have smaller glasses (15cl, 20 cl or “half glasses”) – in order to be able to try some more beers.

18      Bierhuis                 – Visited November 2023
Sankt Olofsgatan 23      OS      CONCEPT: Belgian beers.
Excellent Belgian concept. The ceiling over the dining room is painted in a kind of French classic style. The menu is written in Flemish and English – not in Swedish. 24 Belgian beers on tap in a very nice big circular bar counter. 8 of them are altering randomly, depending on which nice ones they succeed to obtain. Around 130 fine Belgian beers in bottles/cans, including around 15 bigger ones suitable for sharing.  (Opened 2016).

A special list with around 100 very interesting beer bottles/cans. Just think of several different beers from each of these fine breweries: 19 bottles 3 Fonteinen, 1 Gueuzerie Tilquin, 4 Pfriem, 1 Geuzestekerij De Cam, 4 De Garde, 3 Crooked Stave, 10 Cantillon, 12 Cyclic Beer Farm, 8 Alesmith, 2 Jackdaw, some others and 15 different from Trillium.

Very nice genuine Irish pub with 14 beers on tap of which around 7 are Craft Beers in addition to 2 Real Ales. The place being the third bar receiving a permanent Timothy Taylor Real Ale tap. They have also received the Cask Marque award for the way they handle the Real Ales. Maybe even 200 bottles/cans. Some of them in a fridge downstairs. These include around 10 vintage beers, primarily Imperial Stouts, some of them unique! Also, a cellar room downstairs. (Place some years ago known as Buddy’s).

Åsgränd 5C      U      OS      RA      
Very nice pub in very pleasant English style, located just west of Uppsala Domkyrka in the academic area. In January 2022 somewhat extended in the same pleasant style. Around 60 Craft Beer bottles/cans. Bottles/cans list also on Untappd. 16 taps including 1 Real Ale/Cask. Often around 5 Tempel beers and 5 other Craft Beers, for instance from Apex, Pomona Island, Fuerst Wiacek and/or others – they varies a lot. 

Current: Tempel Brewery has closed down. When the Tempel beers on tap has run out (still available in mid January), they will naturally be replaced with beers from other brewery/breweries.

11      Messob                – Visited January 2024
Sturegatan 4      OS      CONCEPT: African beers
Ambitious African Restaurant, very service minded, and with great nice friendly atmosphere. African food is combined with African beverages – including beers – for a true African experience. I had just one excellent beer but still got a carafe of water, a glass and a napkin as well! Around 15 bottles/cans with beers from Morocco, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, Eritrea, Benin, Nigeria, Namibia and maybe some more African countries! Some are however licensee brewed in Germany. Special outdoor garden summertime.

      

A Messob, it is a traditional Ethiopian breadbasket.
