Brooklyn’s bid for world domination is extending to Sweden.

Brooklyn Brewery in Williamsburg, the craft brewer that will turn 25 in March, will open a $5 million brewery and restaurant overlooking Stockholm harbor. “Brooklyn, the brand, is hotter than ever,” said Eric Ottaway, the brewery’s chief operating officer. “Swedes love the taste of our beer, the name of our beer and the mystique of Brooklyn.”

The new brewery, the company’s first such venture, will be called the Brooklyn-New Carnegie brewery. It will become the only operating craft brewery in Stockholm, and both Brooklyn Brewery and D. Carnegie & Company, a Swedish brewer since the early 1800s, will be the principal investors. Carlsberg Sweden, which owns the Carnegie company, has contributed the use of its brand.

The new brewery is expected to be in operation by the end of the year, and will have a 100-seat restaurant with an outdoor terrace accommodating 150. The company’s brewmaster, Garrett Oliver, will oversee the development of three new year-round craft beers. “We’re going to have a lot of fun brewing and creating beers with our Swedish team,” he said.

Mr. Ottaway said: “This will not cannibalize our sales in Sweden, because we’ll be brewing new small-batch specialty beers in Stockholm. Our main beers will not be brewed there, and will continue to be exported from Brooklyn.” He was referring to Brooklyn Lager, Brooklyn East India Pale Ale, Brooklyn Local 1 and Brooklyn Sorachi Ace. The new brewery, he added, “will be our first venture of its kind, but I don’t think it will be the last.”
