Beer
Pripps Blå, lit. Pripps Blue, is a light lager first introduced in 1959; it is said to be one of the most popular beers in Sweden.
Pripps Blå is an inexpensive beer, for it is brewed with exactly 51% barley — the minimum amount of barley in beer required by Swedish law. A low-calorie version called Pripps Blå Light is also made. Other versions are Pripps Blå Extra Stark, a full malt, extra strong beer with 7.2% alcohol and Pripps Blå Pure with a lower carbohydrates content, scheduled to replace Pripps Blå Light.
Brewery
The beers are brewed at Carlsberg Sverige.
