Amager Bryghus


Amager Bryghus is a Danish microbrewery situated on Amager. It was founded in 2007 by Morten Valentin Lundsbak and Jacob Storm in an old warehouse previously owned by the Church of Scientology. Its first beer that made it to Ratebeer Top 50 was an Imperial Stout called Hr. Frederiksen. It was a beer to celebrate a friend of the owners, Peter Frederiksen, who helped them for a whole year in setting up the brewery. Due to the success of Hr. Frederiksen, they partnered with Shelton Brothers, and started to export to U.S. Since 2009 they have been in the Ratebeer top 100 breweries list.
In 2013, one of their labels for their beer Lust was censored by the Swedish state alcohol authority, due to the depiction of a topless woman. This was considered unacceptable by Systembolaget due to the fact that "sexual success can not be associated with drinking beer". and created a controversy about censorship featured by Swedish media.
In 2017, Amager Bryghus moved to larger premises at Kirstinehøj 38B in Kastrup right next to Copenhagen Airport.
