Mora Bryggeri
About the distillery (briefly)
Mora Bryggeri is located in Mora in Dalarna and is a family-run brewery with a range that spans from cider to swedish weak beer, beer, soft drinks and carbonated water. What’s interesting about the place is the combination of an old trademark that the Andersson family continues to manage, and a distinct local identity with kurbits, Dalarna tradition, and flavors that point toward fruit from the area.
History
Mora Bryggeri is run by the Andersson family, where Jörgen, Eva, Ellinor and Markus form the core group that both manages and develops the well-known trademark. The family describes their work as a continuation of a cultural-heritage project, where both recipes and labels are part of the legacy. At the same time, they’re looking ahead: Eva emphasizes that they respect tradition, but still want to carry the brand forward.
This can clearly be seen in the newer product launches. In April 2022, they released a semi-dry pear cider, with pear highlighted as a personal favorite taste, and where the label was developed in collaboration with Mikaela Friström. The following year, they followed with a fresh, semi-dry apple cider flavored with pink grapefruit, presented as a summer new release and sent out to shops in several towns in Dalarna as well as available to order throughout the country. The story is therefore not told through major dates and factory building, but through a family that continually builds on a locally rooted brewery and a living brand.
Ingredients and production
Mora Bryggeri works with beverages that spring from a clear local idea rather than heavy industrial logic. On the product side, soft drinks, carbonated water, beer, svagdricka and cider are mentioned, and in the specific product texts it’s especially the ciders that show the brewery’s way of thinking about flavor. The family talks about fruit with local roots and about creating drinks that fit both everyday life and food.
One of the ciders is semi-dry and based on pear, while the other is a fresh, semi-dry apple cider flavored with pink grapefruit. Both are described as easy to drink, and as summery or refreshing in expression. Production is also linked to intentional visual craftsmanship, where kurbits and the collaboration with Mikaela Friström are part of the whole. In the supplied texts, the production primarily comes down to style, family and local culture rather than technical details such as malting, fermentation or distillation.
Aging and cask types
The supplied texts do not talk about aging in casks or a particular maturation regime. The focus instead is on fresh, semi-dry cider expressions, where the fruit and immediate drinkability are at the center. That means that Mora Bryggeri’s documented style here must be read as a fresh, uncomplicated fruit profile rather than a whisky-like cask story.
Whiskies
The brewery’s current range is broad, but the official product overview groups it into five broad categories: läskedrycker & kolsyrat vatten, öl, svagdricka, cider and profildrycker. This gives the impression of a brewery offering both traditional and more everyday drinks in its portfolio. The specific product texts available here point especially to cider as an area where the brewery is developing new varieties with a clear local identity and a light, fruit-based expression.
General flavor profile
The profile revolves around fresh, semi-dry fruitiness with a clear local appeal. There are notes and directions toward pear, sun-ripe fruits and apple, along with a fresh citrus finish with pink grapefruit.
fruitiness is described as pear, apple, sun-ripe fruits and pink grapefruit.
Visit the distillery
Mora Bryggeri is easy to get in touch with, and practical information is provided for visitors who want to find their way to the place. The nearest bus stop is Måmyren, about 300 meters from the brewery, and reference is made to Dala Trafik’s travel planner for departure times. A phone number and email address are also provided, and for those arriving by taxi, Mora Taxi is mentioned. The text therefore describes a visitable place with clear directions, but without promising a special visitors’ department or regular guided tours.
Philosophy and craftsmanship
The Andersson family describes the work as a combination of respect for tradition and a desire to carry the brand forward. They emphasize preserving a cultural-heritage starting point with recipes and labels, while also developing new products. The local anchoring in Dalarna and the collaboration with kurbits artists show that identity, craftsmanship and a regional expression are part of the brewery’s self-understanding.
