Brewing a rebellion, that’s the story of Amager Bryghus. Amager Bryghus isn’t just a brewery. It’s a testament to Danish ingenuity and a splash of irreverence. Right here on the island of Amager, in a building once occupied by the Church of Scientology, two friends, Morten Lundsbak and Jacob Storm, embarked on a beery adventure in 2007. Their first claim to fame? An imperial stout named Hr. Frederiksen, a tribute to a friend who helped them build the brewery. This potent brew catapulted Amager Bryghus onto the international stage, landing a spot in Ratebeer’s Top 50 and securing an export deal to the United States. Since 2009, Amager Bryghus has consistently ranked among the top 100 breweries in the world according to Ratebeer. Amager Bryghus doesn’t shy away from controversy. Their beer “Lust” caused a stir in Sweden. Its label, featuring a topless woman, was deemed too provocative by the Swedish alcohol authorities. They claimed it linked sexual success with beer consumption. The ensuing debate garnered international attention, highlighting the brewery’s rebellious spirit. In 2017, Amager Bryghus moved to a larger facility in Kastrup, near Copenhagen Airport, continuing their brewing saga. They remain dedicated to crafting quality beers with unique names and labels. So, next time you enjoy a beer from Amager Bryghus, remember the story. It’s a story of friendship, bold flavors, and a dash of Danish mischief.
