Surgubben, 2026

On the theme “perfection” at the final exhibition at Forsbergs Skola, I created Surgubben; a sour beer brand that explores perfection through imperfection and unpredictability.
This is still a work in progress.

Because of natural fermentation, every beer batch develops differently, making each result unique.  It´s unstabale character divide opinion; some find it complex and exciting, while others find it unpleasant. In this way, sour beer reflects how subjective perfection truly is. 

The cans feature different “Surgubbar”, one for each flavour. Like the beer itself, Surgubben is unfiltered, rough around the edges, outspoken and unapologetically honest. As a character he represents the charm and humanity found in imperfection and lack of control.
