Beer brings people together, as the men and women of the craft beer scene prove every day. In collaborations, brewers combine their accumulated knowledge and create sinfully good joint brews, like-minded people meet at the regulars' table over a good beer to discuss world events, football or the latest local scandal, and craft beer festivals attract hordes of connoisseurs who indulge their love of fine barley juice together. Sometimes something great comes out of this passion - as happened at the Gamma brewery.
The brewery's origins lie in Copenhagen's young craft beer scene. All five founders worked there as bartenders in various bars and pubs. As is often the case, the guys got to know each other indirectly and decided to expand their enthusiasm for craft beer and not only serve and drink it from then on, but also brew it. At first, the venture was a small side project: the motivated young brewers bought a fermentation tank and moved into a brewing collective north of Copenhagen. The first barrel of beer was created in Gørløse. As bartenders, the team were experts and knew what was important for a tasty brew. The first work was created under the name Gamma and was distributed to local pubs. The opinion of the test audience was unanimous: the brew was a success and the brewing venture absolutely had to be continued. While all five founding members were still working full-time as bartenders, word of their beer spread and the small brewery was steadily expanded and enlarged, even though it did not yet have its own brewery.
By 2019, the brewers had added more and more systems to the brewing collective, and at some point they simply ran out of space. Their beer was now known and popular not only in Denmark but also in neighboring countries. In order to meet the high demand, Gamma looked for its own four walls in 2019 and found what it was looking for in the early 2020s. But then Corona came and seriously shook the brewers' confidence. What the team didn't expect was the overwhelming support of their fans and friends. In a joint effort, enough money was raised to make the brewery a reality. At the beginning of 2021, their own brewery in Herlev was finished and the fun could begin. Today, the guys have a stable range of the finest craft beers and run a tasting room with an adjoining shop next to the brewery. On their tours, you can experience the brewing process live and be infected by the joy of the brewers. Incidentally, everyone has given up their full-time jobs as bartenders.
