Tiny Danish brewer...

Boegedal Bryghus -- Craft brewer from Denmark
There is a maximum of 700 bottles made in each batch.
Free Falling Brewery
"Bøgedal is an atypical brewery in that it is Scandinavian’s only Free Fall Brewery. The beer runs from cask to cask by help of pulleys and level differentiation… without the use of pumps, and the herb is cooked over an open fire. Because of the delicate methods in use, Bøgedal can produce a nearly clear beer without filtration, thereby retaining many of the important flavours and aromas." -- importer




Boegedal Bryghus No .130...$26.99 / 750ml
"Golden ale with Centennial, Perle & Tettnang 5,8%. Dark golden beer with creamy head. Aromatic Smell like a double IPA. Aroma and smell of extreme hoop compared to a normal Bøgedal beer -properly because of the used of Centennial hoop as bitter hoop. A sense of sweet licorice . An exceptional good beer for enjoinment after dinner." -- importer

Boegedal Bryghus No. 103....$26.99 / 750ml
Boegadal Bryghus No. 153...$26.99 / 750ml
(same beer -- different batch #s, same recipe, however like a true vintage each batch will be somewhat different in flavor & aroma profile due to the very unique brewing process of Boegedal.)
"Dark Ale with Northern Brewer, Orange, Brown Sugar 6.3% Dark-brown beer with a dark-brown head. Smells sweet of prunes and citrus with an acidic tip. It fills the palate with its sweetness, and opens up into a pleasant bitterness. Hangs in the mouth like a dark chocolate with a faint smoky aftertaste. Goes well with venison and chestnuts, blackberries and brussell sprouts, smoked or salted meats." -- importer
"JyllandsPosten -- Bøgedal No. 103, 6.3% -- Of course, there come charming brewers out of the Vejle River Valley. Brewer Casper Vorting has found a magical formula for beer, that justifies that it is also Denmark’s most costly. He doesn’t try to interpret an IPA, a monastery brew, a Bock, or for that matter any other of the many beer types. Beer from Bøgedal is Bøgedal Beer in their own, styled fashion. No. 103 – the number signifies the succession in order of brews – is like most Bøgedals round, soft, vitally emotional and discreetly seductive. With a hint of Porter, a bit of chocolate and zesty orange, coupled with a 6.3% kick, it has a bit more of a love-bite than the brewers other passionate undertakings. 6 out of 6 stars” -- importer





Boegedal Bryghus No. 156 Pale Ale....$26.99 / 750ml
"Pale Ale, Pearl, Cascade 5.9% ABV. Light amber, small, compact bubbles and creamy head. Aromatic sweetness with traces of honey, wheat and fine wine. A wonderful latent sweetness and bitterness with a taste of citrus. Good body, balanced and comfortable. Goes well with an informal get-together, but also with classical white meats and poultry, yams, pasta, mushrooms or mature, but mild, port cheeses.


Jan Filipe, Barley Wine, describes a Bøgedal Beer like this: “…is the only one in Denmark, maybe in all of Scandinavia, that is remarkably singular, finding no points of reference among its fellows. Were we to find a parallel in the world of wines, it could be nothing less than a “Pingus-beer”. The world famous Danish Newspaper, Jyllands Posten, short and sweet, describes Bøgedal Beer as, “…a world-class brew with depth and originality”, and ranks the brewery among the top 5 best breweries in the country in 2007." -- importer
