True Brew is the eighth studio album by Swedish punk rock band Millencolin. It was first released on 22 April 2015.

Unlike past releases, the album is more political in tone, evident in songs such as Sense & Sensibility which condemns the rise of right-wing populist parties in many countries of Europe.
