About Skanderborg Bryghus
Skanderborg Bryghus is a relative new player on the craftbeer market but can actually be dated back to the hobby-craft brewery called Nonnebjerg, founded by a group of seven youngsters who started brewing beer in the basement many years ago. In 2015 the once youngsters decided to fulfill the idea they had been playing with for some time – the establishment of a craft brewery in Skanderborg, which by that time had been absent in almost a hundred years.
In 2015 Skanderborg Bryghus A/S raised capital by selling shares to the local community and hence a dream had come true. Skanderborg Bryghus bought an old building, invested in a small batch sized brewery and started brewing beer. Furthermore, the people behind decided that the brewery should be run by volunteers – from brewing the beer to selling it. The brewery soon experinced a high demand for the beer and running on full capacity the board of directors decided to expand once again but this time the ambitions were even higher – they wanted the brewery to be in the forefront of all micro breweries.
Once again, new capital was raised and again it was the local community who took lead with a few larger investors securing the final foundation for continuing the expansion. A major investment in a state-of-the-art brewery took form and by forming local partnerships with GEA and Damstahl the best ever foundation for succes for the brewery was once again at place, and in return Skanderborg Bryghus is now a working show-room. At present the brewery are in the midst of installing the new brewery which is going operational the 1st of January.
