About us
In an old stone barn at Skrea Backe, on Sweden's west coast, four friends with a passion for food and drink set out to create a handcrafted spirit inspired by their surroundings.
Our story
Skrea Backe, where you'll also find our family members Prostens Pizza and Skrea Matbruk, is a stunningly beautiful farming landscape just outside Falkenberg, where lush forest meets the living sea and its surroundings.
The distillery sits right next to the restaurant Skrea Matbruk, so if you're passing by and come to visit, you can enjoy a great cocktail together with incredible pasta, all served in a setting that looks out over vineyards and fields stretching for kilometres. Sounds almost too good to be true, doesn't it?
The four friends we mentioned are Albert Nilsson, Filip Karlsson, Marcus Nordgren and Viktor Larsson, who all met while mixing drinks and cooking together at Prostens Pizza and Skrea Matbruk, which Marcus owns and runs with his wife Lisa Lemke. They all share a passion for food and wine, and also shared a dream of doing something more. The idea of developing and improving Swedish craft spirits began to take shape, and here at Skrea Backe we like turning dreams into reality.
We use carefully selected organic ingredients chosen to represent our surroundings: the forest and the sea. We are proud to distil with our high-quality copper still, built by our friends at Carl GmbH, or Storasyster, as we call her.
We distil every bottle with joy and love. Please drink responsibly.
