Briska Elderflower Cider (Fläder)

Briska is a prominent Swedish cider brand known for its emphasis on traditional craftsmanship balanced with modern flavor innovation. Originally developed by the independent beverage company Spendrups Bryggeri, Briska was created to offer a more sophisticated and natural cider alternative in the Scandinavian market. The brand focuses on high-quality ingredients, particularly its base of fermented apple juice, which is then flavored with classic Nordic profiles such as elderflower (fläder), pear, and raspberry.

Production takes place primarily in Sweden, mainly at the Spendrups breweries located in Grängesberg and Vårby. The manufacturing process adheres to Swedish quality standards, ensuring a balance between acidity and sweetness. As of 2026, Briska remains under the ownership of Spendrups Bryggeri AB, a family-owned company that has been a giant in the Northern European beverage industry for generations. The brand has successfully expanded its reach beyond the Swedish borders, becoming a well-recognized staple in the premium cider category across Northern Europe and the Baltics.
