The English expression "bad seed" stands for the proverbial rotten apple in German: a good-for-nothing who apparently has no good fiber in his body and does things solely for his own benefit. If you believe the expression, then a single rotten apple can spoil the whole basket, or a single ne'er-do-well can infect a whole group of honest people with his mischief. The brewery of the same name, Bad Seed Brewing from Denmark, also has a few crazy ideas in mind, but these are more of a beer-related nature and only cause harm if you allow yourself one too many.
Bad Seed Brewing comes from Storvorde in Denmark, southeast of Aalborg. When Frederik Hector Schmidt decided to start his own label, he did not yet have the financial means to buy his own brewing system. Without his own production facility, he had to rely on the hospitality of larger, already established breweries and brewed as a so-called cuckoo brewer in the hallowed halls of others. For three years, the passionate beer lover traveled the country and not only gained a lot of brewing experience but also an illustrious circle of new brewer friends. The tradition of cuckoo or traveling brewing is deeply rooted in craft beer culture and has already enabled many a microbrewery to get started. Craft beer brewing is a communal affair and people help each other where they can. Many successful breweries attach great importance to supporting young brewers and often even have programs and projects to promote young brewers and young talent. Frederik was able to draw on a network of brewers. After three years of traveling, he was able to take over the old Landkær Bryggeri in October 2018: It closed its doors after 100 years of brewing and offered Bad Seed Brewing everything it needed for brewing.
Since the beginning of Bad Seed Brewing, the team has had a simple goal: to brew beers that are tasty, bold and easy to drink. Good beer flows through their veins and they want to infect others with their enthusiasm and passion. The brewery now has a stable core range of more than 20 beers, which are sold in colorful cans. Most of the beers come in a bright base color with a centrally placed print, some are also covered in a pattern. Behind the cheerful design are hand-brewed beer specialties that are made with the best ideas and the best raw materials.
