Description
Østerby Bryghus is what is called a phantom brewery, which means that we develop our beer locally on Læsø on a smaller brewery. When we hit the right taste, we brew in collaboration with Randers Bryghus in a minimum of 1,000 liters of brew.

Østerby Bryghus arose a bit by chance after many pleasant moments with good friends. We have for many years brewed different beers at our small micro brewery at home privately, the beer we often enjoyed at cozy gatherings with good friends. And soon the idea arose that a beer should be brewed with ingredients from the island. Several tests had to be brewed before we all agreed that now we had hit a beer that we can vouch for. It was an Amber Ale brewed according to its own recipe and pampered, so it tastes like beer should taste, hence our motto "Beer as beer should taste". Since then, the selection has grown, but all beers have been developed locally on Læsø.

At the beginning of 2022, we will start testing brews in public, as we have entered into a fantastic collaboration with Kitty and Andre at Huset Palsgaard. We will set up our brand new and 10 times larger brewery in their premises and go and develop good "Beer as Beer should taste" at the same time, on special occasions there will be the opportunity to taste what we test brew, it will give us a good guideline on what beer connoisseurs want.

Here at the beginning of 2022, our beer can be enjoyed at many of the island's restaurants and we believe and bet that there will probably be more to come 😊
