Description
On a small abandoned farm back in 2002 William Frank and Else Birk started a small brew house focusing on quality and good craftsmanship. The brewery was not far from where the Grauballe man (a bog body that was uncovered in 1952 from a peat bog) was found - hence the name Grauballe Bryghus.

Grauballe Bryghus was in these premises until the year 2013. By then it had grown so big that it was time to move to larger premises where it is today.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a cloudy, opaque dark brown with a smallish, beige head. An aroma of roast and pumpernickel. Light body, same flavor notes as in the nose - no sweet wort. Quite drinkable, even borderline enjoyable. 300526

Thanks Henrik! (as Dannebrog 805). Copper colour, small off-white head. Aroma is toasted toffee, some mild biscuity and mild wooden tones to it. Flavour is toasted toffee, some mild biscuity tones with mild floral tones as well as some wooden tones. A bit diacetylic tones to it.
