Weyermann® on Tour: AromaFest 2026 in Copenhagen and Stockholm

AromaFest 2026 featured two key stops for the Nordic brewing community: Copenhagen and Stockholm. Both events were organized together with our valued distribution partners Charles Faram and Mr. Malt Nordic, placing a strong focus on premium raw materials, sensory exploration, and active industry exchange. Weyermann® was represented on site by Axel Jany, International Malting & Brewing Expert, who supported both programs with technical presentations and hands‑on discussions.

The mornings at both locations were dedicated to hops. Charles Faram presented a selection of experimental varieties and modern aroma hops that have the potential to shape future beer styles. Participants from Denmark, Sweden, and Finland had the opportunity to evaluate new cultivars, share their impressions, and discuss breeding objectives as well as aroma characteristics. This practice-oriented workshop combined sensory experiences with valuable insights into the hop development pipeline for the coming years.

The afternoons focused on malt. Axel Jany highlighted the role of modern specialty malts in defining the flavor profile of contemporary lager beers and demonstrated how versatile Weyermann® malts contribute to developing low- and no‑alcohol craft beers. The discussions underscored the importance of reliable raw material quality and a deep understanding of malt-derived flavor components in an increasingly diverse beer landscape. Each event concluded with an exclusive brewery tour, offering a look behind the scenes of a respected regional craft producer.

Both events clearly illustrated the value of collaboration between international raw material experts, local breweries, and dedicated distribution partners. The open atmosphere, strong technical engagement, and inspiring conversations emphasized the dynamic evolution of the Nordic craft beer scene.

Weyermann® extends its sincere thanks to Charles Faram, Mr. Malt Nordic, and the host breweries in Copenhagen and Stockholm for their excellent organization and warm hospitality. We look forward to continuing to support the Scandinavian brewing community with expertise, specialty malts, and genuine partner
